It would have been pleasing, indeed, to have finished without 
error, but perfection need not be expected of imperfection. If there 
are not more serious errors than here pointed to, we shall have 
cause to be glad. 



In Part III, Chap. 4, Art. 1, subject, "Christopher Harris," ap- 
pears the statement that "Two of his sons married 'daughters' ", 
when it should read " 'sisters' of the old pioneer, Higgason Grubbs." 
(See Supplement.) 

In Part III, Chap. 6, Art. 1, subject, "Robert Harris," it is stated 
that "he married Nancy Grubbs, a 'daughter' ", when it should read 
" 'sister' of Higgason Grubbs." (See Supplement.) 

In Part III, Chap. 12, Art. 1, subject, "Christopher Harris" 
(Rev.), the statement that he "married Elizabeth Grubbs, a 
'daughter' ", should read " 'sister' of Higgason Grubbs." (See 
Supplement.) 

In Part III, Chap. 3, Sec. 4, Sub-sec. 5, subject, "Lucy Harris," 
it appears that the subject, "Lucy Harris, married Thomas Grubbs, 
who in 1758 was in actual service against the Indians on the Vir- 
ginia frontier," when the fact is, she married Higgason Grubbs, 
who came from Albemarle County, Virginia, to Kentucky among 
the early pioneers. (See Supplement.) 

In the Supplement appended additional matter relative to fam- 
ilies of this history will be found, which is divided into 9 para- 
graphs — ^the head-lines thereto indicate the subject matter of each 
paragraph, w^hich is not otherwise indexed.

PREFACE. 



In the pages following, besides giving the lines of descent aS 
far back as traced, are brief narratives, sketches, etc., of individual 
members of the families of Miller, Woods, Harris, Wallace, Maupin, 
Oldham, Kavanaugh, Brown, an~d others. The lineage running back 
to one Miller, of Anglo-Scotch-Irish-Franco-German blood; Woods, 
an English Trooper of Scoth-Irish blood; Maupin, a Frenchman; 
Harris of Whales; Overt'on, an English soldier; Wallace, of the 
Scottish Clan Wallace (Scotch-Irish); Dabney, of French origin; 
Kavanaugh, from Ireland; Oldham, Angio-Welsh, and Brown, of 
English ancestry. By intermarrige these several bloods have inter- 
mingled and coursed into the veins of people who today are a promi- 
nent part of tihe best citizenship of our great country, and have all 
along, in the years gone by, held, and are now occupying, high 
positions of public trust in the body politic, and in the counsels of 
the nation their influences are felt, as well as filling prominent 
places in the marts of trade and commerce and agriculture and 
every otherwise, and have spread to the remotest i)ortions of 
the globe. 

Among the early mothers ap^pear the names of Lynn, Worsop, 
Campbell, Overton, Walters, Clairbourne, Glenn, Anderson, McCord, 
Bratton, Rice, Mullens, and others of whom very little more than 
the mere name is known, and sometimes hardly that because the 
lines have not been run out — -made very difficult to trace from the 
fact, as it seems, that the heads of the house pretty generally have 
been slow and careless in the making, preserving and handing down 
full and complete family records, and often when this was done rea- 
sonably well, by some mishap the same were lost or destroyed. 
Therefore, in many, if not most instances, only very meagre accounts 
can be obtained, especially of the maternal line, and often the little 
gathered does not satisfy, but only produces a desire to know more 
— there seems to he no stopping place. 

The data at hand has been gotten from old family and court 
records, letters and testimony of creditable persons, and from every 
source considered reliable, within reach, by long and patient search 
and labor. An endeavor has been made to put the facts together 
in a clear and comprehensive shape. No doubt some errors occur, 
and should be noted and corrected when detected. In a work of 
this kind perfection need not be expected. All matters set forth as 
facts are known or believed to be true from substantial evidence. 

The work is submitted to the liind and charitable judgment of 
the families and friends, and pardon is asked for shortcomings and 
imperfections. It is confidently hoped that the presentation may 
be interesting enough to cause some, at least, to overlook the faults, 
and that some good may result. 

This book is divided into eight parts, and each part into chap- 
ters, and the chapters into sections, for convenience and easy refer- 
ence. A genealogical table precedes each part.. ,y.^

Article 1 — Kentucky and Madison County Items. 

One of the three counties into which Fincastle County, Virginia, 
was divided, December 31, 1776, was Kentucky County, and Col. 
Richard Calloway and Col. John Todd were elected the first repre- 
sentatives of Kentucky County in the Virginia General Assembly. 
Afterwards Col. John Miller, Gen. Green Clay, Squire Boom, and 
Col. William Irvine, living in what was afterwards and is now Mad- 
ison County, were members of the Virginia General Assembly from 
Kentucky County. 

In May, 1780, the said county was divided and established into 
the three counties of Jefferson, Fayette and Lincoln. 

In October, 1784, the part of Jefferson south of Salt River was 
established and named as the County of Nelson. 

May 1. 178.5, Bourbon County was formed out of the northern 
part of Fayette County. 

August 1, 1785, out of Lincoln the counties of Madison and 
Mercer were carved (the county of Madison then embracing a much 
larger territory than it does at this day), extending and taking in 
the Goose Creek waters. Clay and many other eastern and southern 
counties. 

May 1, 1788, Mason was carved out of Bourbon, and Woodford 
out of Favette, making at this date nine counties into which the 
original Kentucky County had been carved, which comprised the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky, when admitted into the Union as a 
State, June 1, 1792, with General Isaac Shelby, of Danville, her 
first Governor; James Brown, Secretary of State: John Logan, 
Treasurer, and George Nicholas. Attorney General: her constitution 
at that time made no provision for a Lieutenant Governor. 



20 Histori/ and Genealogies 

The first village of Kentucky, and the only one within its bor- 
ders prior to the settlement at Harrodsburg in 177 4-5, was in 
what is now Greenup County, opposite the mouth of the Scioto 
River, built by the Shawanee Indians and some French traders years 
before the French War in 17 53, where in 1805 stood the little vil- 
lage of Alexandria, about a mile below where Portsmouth, Ohio, is. 
In 1773, this Indian village consisted of about twenty log cabins 
with roofs, doors, windows and chimneys made of clap-boards, and 
some cleared ground around them. 

Kentucky was the hunting ground of the northern and southern 
tribes of Indians on which different tribes often met and tried their 
rights in deadly combat. The six nations north of the Ohio River: 
the Mohawks, Tuscaroras, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and 
Senecas, with the dependant or sub-tribes: the Shawanees, the Del- 
ewares, the Mingos, the Wyandotts, and others, and the tribes south 
of Kentucky: the Cherokees, the Chickasaws, and others, claimed 
Kentucky as their Hunting Ground, and not only fought one an- 
other, but harassed the white settlers for years, till about the year 
179 3. After this year there were only occasionally a te^v lurking, 
skulking marauders spying through the interior settlements. 

At different periods from 1747 to 1772, Kentucky was visited 
by various parties of white men, adventurers and hunters, but the 
first that gave any promise of actual, permanent settlement and im- 
provement was in 177 3, when a large number of surveys were made. 

Kentucky being the Hunting and Battle Ground of the various 
tribes of Indians was called the Dark and Bloody Ground. 

The first fort in Kentucky was erected March 2 6, 1775, in what 
was afterwards and is now Madison County, about five miles south 
of the present city of Richmond, and a little over a mile in a south- 
west direction from Estill's old station, on a small branch of Tay- 
lor's Fork, and about a quarter of a mile west of Hart's Fork of 
Silver Creek, upon a little elevated ground, about one hundred yards 
from Bossie's Trace, and called Twetty's or the Little Fort. It was 
built of logs in a square, six or seven feet high, the day after the 
attack made by the Indians before the break of day upon the com- 
panies of Colonel Daniel Boone and Captain William Twetty, as a 
protection against further surprises and sudden attacks of the In- 
dians. The wounded. Captain Twetty, who had been shot in both 
knees, and young Felix Walker, were removed into the fort and 
there nursed, and the third day after receiving the wound in said 
battle, and the second day after the fort was built. Captain Twetty 
died, and his body was buried inside the fort. A portion of the 
company remained at the fort to nurse Walker until April 6, 1775, 
when he was well enough to be moved, and was taken to Boones- 
borough, which latter fort, although commenced was not completed 
until June 14, 1775. 

For several years Twetty's, or the Little Fort, was one of the 
best known and most noted places in what is now Madison County. 

Boones Fort, or Boonesborough, was the second fort built and 
the first station fortified, and where Colonel Daniel Boone and his 
company arrived April 1, 1775, which fort was completed .lune 
14, 1775. 

William Bush, Jesse Oldham, Rev. Joseph Proctor, Peter Hackett 
and ten other men in their depositions describe the Indian attack 
and the Little Fort above mentioned. 

Harrodsburg is reputed to be the oldest town in the State built 
by white settlers. 

In order of formation, Madison County was the seventh, and 



nisi (in/ mill <lriiciil(H/ics 21 

was carved out of Lincoln, and was established by act of the General 
Assembly of Virginia in 17S5: the first court was organized and 
held by Justices of the Peace, holding commissions from Patrick 
H(>nry, Govci'nor of Virginia, August 22, 1786, at the house of 
George Adams, and the first court house was erected at the place 
where Captain David Gass' path leaves the Great Road, near Tay- 
lor's Fork of Silver Creek; and it is claimed by some that the work 
was done under contract by Villiam Golden, son-in-law of Daniel 
Maupin, Sr., (who died in Madison County in 180:5). Mr. Golden 
lived to be 110 years old ana died just about the beginning of or 
a short time before the Civil War. 

This court house, or county seat, was called Milford, or Old 
Town. In 1798 the county seat was removed to Ridiniond, where 
the first settlement and improvement of the place had been made 
by Colonel .Tohn Miller, who granted 50 acres for the town, which 
was surveyed and laid off into lots and streets by the surveyor, .John 
Crooke. (See Part I, Chapter 1.) 

At the residence of Colonel Charles Robertson, at the Sycamore 
Shoals, on the Watanga, a tributary to the Holston River, on March 
17, 1775, a treaty known as the Treaty of Fort Stanwix with the 
chief warrior Oconostoto and other prominent chiefs, towit: Atacul- 
lacullah (or Little Carpenter) and Savanooko (or Coronoh) of the 
Overhill Cherokee Indians, was consummated by nine gentlemen 
from Granville and adjoining counties of North Carolina, towit: 
Colonel Richard Henderson, .John Litterell, Nathaniel Hart, Thomas 
Hart, David Hart, William Johnston, John Williams, James Hogg, 
and Leonard Hendley Bullock, to whom, for 10,000 pounds lawful 
money of Great Britain, were deeded a large portion of the beauti- 
ful, fertile lands of Kentucky, between the Cumberland and the 
Kentucky (Chenoco or Louisa) Rivers, not less than seventeen mil- 
lion acres, which company was called the Henedrson Company, 
afterwards the Transylvania Company, or Colony, making them pro- 
prietors of a magnificent territory, and they organized a form of 
government for their colony called the Transylvania, and the House 
of Delegates, or representatives of this colony, assembled May 23, 
1775, under a large spreading elm tree, at Boonesborough, on the 
Kentucky River, and held, on what is Madison County soil, the first 
legislative meeting west of the Allegheny Mountains. 

After heated contest in the court and before the Virginia Gen- 
eral Assembly, the treaty and government organization of this col- 
ony was nullified but a considerable tract of land was granted the 
company by the Virginia General Assembly. 

Boonesborough was established as a town by act of said As- 
sembly of Virginia in October 1779; twenty acres had already been 
laid off into lots and streets and fifty acres more directed to be 
so laid off, and five hundred and seventy acres, the balance of a 
section, were to be laid off for a common called Lick Common. 

The first trustees appointed, Richard Calloway, Charles Minn 
Thruston, Levin Powell, Edmund Taylor, James Estill, Edward 
Bradley, John Kennedy, David Gass, Pemberton Rollins, and Daniel 
Boone, gentlemen, refused to act, and by act of 1787, Thomas Ken- 
nedy, Aaron Lewis, Robert Rodes, Green Clay, Archibald Woods, 
Benjamin Bedford, John Sappington, William Irvine, David Crews 
and Higgason Grubbs, gentlemen, were made trustees of the town. 

The historic elm under which the first legislative council was 
held, and under which the first sermon preached in Kentucky was 
delivered, stood on the Lick Commons, and was. in about 1S2N, cut

down foi- its wood by the servants of Samuel Holley — a very un- 
thoughtful piece of work. 

From its incipiency Boonesborough was the main object of In- 
dian hostilities. Three days after it was begun — on the 6th of 
April, 177 5 — the Indians killed a white man of the fort. Decem- 
ber 24, 1775, they killed another and wounded one. April 15, 
1777, a simultaneous attack was made on Boonesborough, Harrods- 
burg and Logan's Fort by a large number of Indian warriors, in 
which Boonesborough suffered the loss of some men, some corn and 
some cattle, but the Indians were forced to retire. July 4 of the 
same year the fort was again attacked with fury, but without suc- 
cess, by about two hundred warriors; this seige lasted two days 
and nights. August 8, 177 8, a third siege was made by five hun- 
dred armed and painted Indian warriors, led by Canadian officers, 
with the display of British colors, and a surrender of the fort de- 
manded. At about the same time twenty-five Wyandotts made an 
attack on Estill's Station, and were chased by Col. Estill and his 
men, and led to the bloody battle of Little Mountain, near where 
Mount Sterling is, where Col. Estill and several of his men were 
killed and a number wounded. 

In August, 179 2, seven Indians made an attack on the dwelling 
house of Mr. Stephenson, in Madison County but were finally re- 
pulsed. Mr. Stephenson was badly wounded. 

The last Indian incursion into the county of Madison was in 
179 3. After this date there were only a few prowling Indian thieves 
and vagabonds. 

The Long Hunter's Road led from Pepper's Ferry, on New River, 
in Virginia, to Rockcastle River in Kentucky, distance 316 miles. 
The Wilderness Road, from Philadelphia through the Valley of 
Virginia and Cumberland Gap, to the Falls of the Ohio (Louisville, 
Ky. ) , distance 826 miles, or 208 miles from Cumberland Gap onto 
the waters of Dick's River to the Falls, the great traveled road 
from Virginia to Kentucky, through Cumberland Gap, Hazel Patch, 
Crab Orchard, and Logan's Fort, to Danville, Harrodsburg and other 
interior settlements in Kentucky. 

Boone's Trace was cut from the Long Island on the Holston 
River, not far from the place of Treaty of Fort Stanwix, at the 
Sycamore Shoals on the Watanga, a branch of the Holston, to 
Boonesborough, on the Kentucky (Louisa) River, by Colonel Daniel 
Boone under a bargain with the proprietors of the Transylvania or 
Henderson Company, to go before and open the road (23 3 miles). 

At Big Moccasin Gap the three roads, the Long Hunter's Path, 
the Wilderness Road, and Boone's Trace, came together and con- 
tinued the same to the Hazel Patch; here Boone's Trace branched 
off northward, through Boone's Gap in the Big Hill, to Boones- 
borough. 

The Warrior's Path, traveled by the Indians through the Hunt- 
ing Ground, traversed Kentucky from the villages of the southern 
tribes, across the Cumberland Mountains at its southern boundary 
near the mouth of Buffalo Creek, branching to the northern villages. 
Old Shawnee Town near the mouth of the Scioto River, the Mingo 
nation crossing the Ohio at the mouth of Cabin Creek, a fork taking 
down the Licking to its mouth, crossing there the Ohio to the Great 
and Little Miami towns, and other points in the northwest. 

In the interesting and perilous pioneer days many of the immi- 
grants from Virginia and North and South Carolina traveled these 
roads — the Wilderness, the Long Hunter's Path, and Boone's Trace. 
Others from Pennsylvania and northeasterly parts came down the 



I/isldii/ mill (iciicdhjijics 33 

Monongahela and Ohio Rivers to Lees Town, the Falls of the Ohio 
and other roints; thence different routes to the interior.

The Dunmore war resulted in a treaty of peace with the six 
nations of Indians north of the Ohio, in which the Indians surren- 
dered all claim to Kentucky. But on account of renegade Indians 
and traitorous whites, who unscrupulously violated the terms of 
peace, it was difficult to enforce the treaty with all the faithful 
efforts of the leading spirits on both sides of the question. 

Colonel Daniel Boone was Deputy Surveyor of Madison County, 
Kentucky. In 17 88 Aaron Lewis and William Calk were appointed 
by the court to examine Daniel Boone touching his capacity to 
execute the office of Deputy surveyor of Madison County, Kentucky.

well and John Kennedy, Coniniissioners of the Court. 

Squire Boone, deponent, respecting the claim of the heirs of 
Andrew Hannah for 1,0()U acres of land — the meeting place was 
Boone's Mill seat. He describes Gerusha"s Grove, where Squire 
Boone built a cabin and besan to work at a mill, bu fotind it not 
convenient to go on with it, and went into the settl-. ment to move 
his family out. This was in 1775. He gave George Smith Gerusha's 
Grove on Silver Creek. Boone made it his camping place with many 
others from Boonesborough to St. Asaph's Spring. St. Asai)h's Ford 
is here at the upper end of a little island, at the place known as 
Boone's Mill Seat. The cabin is on the hill side close l^elow the 
ford on the west side of the creek. He sold the cabin to .Iosei)h 
Benny. Squire Boone, Col. Calloway, Maj. Hoy and others came to 
the place some time in August, 1775. He moved his family out in 
1775. He made Gerusha's Grove in .July. 1775. Within the dis- 
tance of a mile about northeast course a black oak tree marked 
"S. & B." In answer to a question he said, "Before any person gave 
me any information I asked if it was not that course and distance, 
and they told me nearly. I believe it was .James Harris on the 
road between Silver Creek and David Gasses."

There were people came out and built cabins three-fourths or 
one-half of a mile above here called Banta. 1 was there when the 
cabins v.-ere building 16 or 18 years ago. Always heard the branch 
called Bone's Run. Banta's cabins stand on this side of .Muddy 
Creek, towards Boonesborough on the lower side, and the same side 
this branch runs in Muddy Creek.

(D, page 692) Frederick Referdam, age 50 years, same date, 
^ame case and same commissioners. 

I was passing frequently ttirough tlie woods in 17 81. I saw a 
tree marked with the first letters of Joseph Deban's name standing 
about a mile up the branch from the mouth, on the north side. In 
the year 1779 he heard of the tree marked near 800 miles from this 
place on Muddy Creek waters. Since he came to Kentucky he al- 
ways heard the branch called Deban's Run. 

(D, page 694) Peter Hackett, same date, same case, same place 
and same Commissioners. 

(D, page 69 4) Thomas Warren, same, about 55 years old. 

About 18 or 19 years ago the Dutch Company came up, called 
Banta's Company, to build cabins above here, about one-half mile. 
Some years after he heard this branch called Deban's Run, which 
he expected took its name from some of that company. It was a 
general thing at Estill's Station to call the Bald Hills about here 
the Bald Hills, but some called them Bald Knobs. On the east side 
of the creek they begin about one-half mile from here and run very 
thick on the east side about 4 or 5 miles, and on the west side they 
begin about 4 or 5 miles from here, and that it is 4 or 5 miles to 
the Knobs as called at Estill's Station, but might decently be called 
mountains. Knew nothing of Banta's beginning. 

(D, page 69 5) David Lynch, 3 8 years old, same date, case, 
place and soforth. 

This branch is the only one he ever heard called Deban's Run. 
He has been in Kentucky as his home ever since 1777, on Christ- 
mas Eve, and from summer of 1780 until this time has been well 
acquainted with these woods as any place in the State; never heard 
it (the branch) called by any other name than Deban's Run. Saw 
a tree marked up the branch on the north side; he thinks a white 
oak. It is S or 10 miles to the Knobs, a south course. The Bald 
Hills near here some call Bald Hills, some Bald Knobs, begin on 
the east side of the creek within one-half mile of here or a mile, 
and extend up the east side 5, 6 or 7 miles with here and there a 
skirt of woods; between them and the nearest part of the mountains 
is 6 or 7 miles off from this place. 

(Commissioner Daniel Miller's home was near this place, and 
near the mouth of a branch of what is called Hickory Lick, and 
near here in about 17 82, as related by Ambrose Coffee, in his depo- 
sition below copied, Peter Duree, John Bullock and John Bullock's 
wife, who was a daughter of old man Duree, were killed by Indians. 
He didn't remember when old Mr. Duree died, but Henry Duree and 
Daniel Duree were killed at the White Ooak spring on an early date, 
and Copart was killed at Boonesborough on an early date.)

the Locust Bent and the Elk Garden. Been here many a time since. 
I showed it to Bazil Maxwell.

In the fall of 17 80 deponent and Higgason Grubbs came from the 
station where James Hendricks lives a buffalo htinting, and fell in 
upon Drowning Greek, killed a buffalo, then turned off the creek. 
Game up a clift nearly where Rich. Estill now lives, through the 
woods and camped at a beech tree, he believes to be the beech tree 
we are now at, and then tells why he believes it.

on this beech tree. After the location was made for William Shel- 
ton that he came to hunt for this tree, and Thomas Shelton and

The Old Trace from Estill's Station to Miller's Bottom went by 
the Mulberry Lick, Hoy's Lick, on a branch of Station Camp Creek, 
just below Harris Massie's crossing, main Station Gamp, about a 
mile from the mouth. I know of six Licks on Station Cam]i or the 
main South Fork thereof. One about 1 ^4 miles below near Hen- 
ton's, the second at this place, the third at the Long Ford on ilie

North Fork of Station Camp, the fourth the old lick on the east 
side of Station Camp, the fifth and sixth on the west side 
of the main South Fork of Station Camp, the uppermost one not 
more than four miles from this place.

here on the east side of Station Camp on the side a noil, the sec- 
ond at Hinton's about the same distance on the west side of the 
creek, the third this place, the fourth about a quarter west of this 
on a branch, the fifth on the bank of the creek about 1,4 mile above 
here on the west side, the sixth about 1 V^ miles from here on the 
bank of the creek on the east, the seventh on the bank of the creek 
on the west side about 2 1^^ miles, the eighth on the bank of the 
creek on the east about 4 i/^ miles from this place, also the ninth on 
the War Fork, called the Salt Lick, besides a number of smaller 
deer licks too tedious for me to recollect and point out at present. 
In April, 1784, I came from Estill's Station in company with 
2 Samuel Estill, 3 Harris Massie, 4 John Woods, 5 William Kava- 
naugh, 6 Nicholas Proctor, 7 John Mitchell, 8 William McCrary, and 
several others (the others were probably those named in Humphrey 
Baker's deposition, towit: 9 Humphrey Baker, 10 Cal. Estili, 
11 Alex. Reid, 12 Benjamin Estill, 13 Benjamin Cooper, 14 Braxton 
Cooper, 15 Sharswell Cooper, 16 Patrick Woods, 17 Charles Shurley, 
18 Higgason Harris, 19 Daniel Hancock, 20 Jesse Noland, which 
composes a company of twenty men) in pursuit of a * * Indian 
camp near the mouth of Station Camp Creek, and I was showed by 
some of the company at or near the Blue Banks, about two miles 
from this place, there was the War Road to our right hand. And 
some short time after I came the same way with William Cradle- 
bough and passed by this lick along this trace, and he, also, in- 
formed me this was the War Path, and he showed me pictures 
made with both red paint and black, that he said was done by the 
Indians, and in particular showed me marks and pictures at this 
place, which are now some to be seen, and other trees that had 
them on it were cut down by my family. 

The beginning tree, two or three feet from the ground, is about 
fourteen feet around. In my answer to Estill I knew nothing but 
by information. Now I say the same. 

We on that scout did not follow this trace any, but on my trav- 
eling here the second time I traveled it perhaps between three and 
five miles up there, and up the West Fork to the Red Lick, thence 
to Estill's Station. But as to the size of the War Road, I can only 
answer it was a small path, and from where it came I know not. 

Do you know that this lick is on the War Road? 

I know this lick is on the same trace that was showed to me for 
the War Road. 

William Cradlebough was alive, for all I know or ever heard, 
and was living on the head waters of Otter Creek two months ago 
in Madison County. 

(E, page 240) Peter Hackett, on the same occasion, Feb. 5 and 
6, 1801, at the house of Joseph Wells, on Station Creek, before 
Stephen Trigg and Joseph Boggs, Commissioners of the Court. 

In the fall of 17 8 was the first of my being acquainted with 
Station Camp Creek. The fall after James Estill was killed I was 
over on the east side of the creek passing to Miller's Bottom. We 
saw sign, thought to be Indian sign, on the east side of the creek, 
going down towards the Kentucky River, along a small path. Since 



Ilishiill mill (Icilfillnil'u'S 29 

that 1 was going up the river witli Slielby on a campaign after 
Indians on the east side of Station Camp, nearly opjiosite the lower 
crossing on Station Camp, when I saw at a lick at a small distance, 
pcrliaps not more than V4,' mile from said crossing, a number of 
Indian pictures, which were generally marked with black. I thought 
that the War Path went up on the east side of said creek, from 
said Indian Picture Lick, along up the Fork which is now called 
the South Fork, but which is called the Main Station Camp Creek, 
and there was a path cross the North Fork, at an old lick above 
the forks of Station Camp, which I thought was the same path called 
the War Path, which path I think crossed the creek twice. 

The Trace from Estill's Station to Miller's Bottom came out by 
the Mulberry Lick, from there to Hoy's Lick on the waters of Sta- 
tion Camp, about ^2 mile below, where Harris Massie now lives, 
thence down Hoy's Lick Branch a small distance, thence leaving 
Hoy's Lick Branch on the right hand, and what is now called 
Crooked Creek on the right hand, thence down into Station Camp 
Bottom, thence the bottom to a ford, opposite to the Picture Lick, 
thence up the Kentucky River to Miller's Bottom. I was passing 
by from one lick to another about sixteen or eighteen years ago, 
and Samuel Estill showed me an old lick on the bank of a small 
branch, where Azariah Martin now lives, running into Station Camp 
on the west side, where Samuel Estill told me James Estill and him- 
self had an entry of land of 1,U0 acres beginning on a large oak 
standing on the bank of the lick, from this lick at which the tree 
stands that was the beginning to the crossing at wiiat I thought was 
the War Road above the forks of Station Camp Creek. At the time 
I went on this campaign with Shelby I saw the pictures and they 
appeared to be fresh done. I did not examine whether they all were 
newly done, but my idea is now that the blazes on which the marks 
were had not been done a great while. But powder marks may 
appear to be newly done when they have been done a great while. 

There was a trace that came down from Hoy's Lick to what is 
called Hinton's Lick on the waters of Station Camp, thence across 
some small ridges bearing up Station Camp by where Joseph Wells 
now lives, thence across Station Camp nearly opposite to where 
Joseph Wells now lives, thence to Miller's Bottom. It is about lYz 
miles between the two crossings of Station Camp from Hoy's Lick 
to Miller's Bottom. There was a trace led past both the beginning 
lick showed me and the lick where Hinton lives. It was a com- 
mon thing from my early settling in this country, and from my 
general knowledge of the woods, for buffalo traces to lead from 
one lick to another, and from licks much frequented by game for 
traces to lead from them, even several miles out into the range. 
I think in the fall of 1780 I was first acquainted with the lower 
trace across Station Samp to Miller's Bottom. 

(E, page 242) Rev. Joseph Proctor, at the same i)lace, Feb. 
6, 1801, before the same Commissioners. 

I have been in Kentucky ever since the big battle at Boones- 
borough, and obtained a pre-emption of 400 acres from the Com- 
missioners. 

The Indians that traveled the South Fork of Station Camp gen- 
erally crossed the river above the mouth of Station Camp and came 
through the small Picture Lick, and so up the creek, passing op- 
posite to where Azariah Martin now lives on the east side of the 
creek, through a large cany bottom to the South Fork of said creek, 
and I think the trace crossed about 1 % or 2 miles above the mouth 
of the Red Lick Fork, at a small lick where there was a white oak 



30 History and Genealogies 

stood on the east side of the creek painted with red paint; the trace 
then turned up on the west side of the creek, it then ran up the 
creek and crossed it several times to a ford now called the War 
Fork, and nearly out at the head of that fork. It was generally 
the opinion of the people in the country that that was the War 
Road, and this deponent's opinion for thinking it was the War 
Road was the frequency of their traveling of it and the camps along 
the road which he has seen. One in particular, a Bark Camp, which 
he thinks was nearly thirty yards long. He believes the trace was 
the most traveled in the years 1780 and 17 81, from Estill's Station 
to Miller's Bottom, came out by the Mulberry Lick to Hoy's Lick, 
and he believes the one most frequently traveled from Hoy's Lick 
on the waters of Station Camp was from Hoy's Lick down Crooked 
Creek bottoms to the bottoms on Station Camp, leaving Crooked 
Creek on the right hand, thence down Station Camp Creek opposite 
to the Little Picture Lick, thence to Miller's Bottom. There was 
another trace we used to travel some times from Hoy's Lick on to 
Clear Creek and down Clear Creek to the crossing some distance 
above the mouth, thence cross the point of the ridge onto Station 
Camp Bottom, up the bottom to the above mentioned ford on the 
first trace. There was another trace that led from Hoy's Lick down 
Hoy's Lick for about a mile, thence cross Hoy's Lick Fork to 
Crooked Creek, thence through a large level white oak flat to a 
lick, thence to the top of a high ridge, the banks of the south side 
of the ridge was naked to the blue where the buffalos use to wallow, 
thence to a small creek to a lick on the bank of the creek on the 
south side, thence to a lick where Hinton now lives, thence it turned 
up on the ridge crossing several small ridges, along by where Joseph 
Wells now lives, thence to the lick where Azariah Martin now lives, 
thence cross Station Camp, thence over the mountains, through the 
woods to Miller's Bottom, or to the river, there being no trace from 
the crossing of Station Camp to the river. 

Question by Samuel Estill: Do you recollect in the years 1780 
and 1781, when George Adams came to range from Estill's Sta- 
tion with a company of men, that the said Adams applied to James 
Estill for a couple of pilots to show him all the suspected crossing 
places by the Indians, that James Estill ordered you and myself to 
pilot said Adams to Hinds Lick, as he thought it the most certain 
place for the Indians passing, and did not James Estill order us to 
pilot him over the river to the Picture Lick, and he refused to go, 
it being out of the county? 

Ans. I remember of being out with Major Adams on the scout, 
and I think, as well as I remember, we came out to Hinds Lick 
and went down to the river, or nearly there. Major Adams would 
go no further; then we turned and came back till we struck the 
trace again, and some where about where Hinton now lives we 
came on the sign of the Indians, then followed them along by where 
Joseph Wells now lives, and so on by where Azariah Martin now 
lives, thence up the creek above the forks; then night came on us 
and we lost the trail of the Indians. The next morning we found 
the Indian trail where the trace crossed the Red Lick Fork. 

That a free negro by the name of Hinds, with another man by 
the name of John Dumford, came to Hinds' Lick and the said Hinds 
was there killed at the lick, from whence that lick took its name. 

Question by Samuel Estill. Was not the War Road on the west 
side of Station Camp as large as that on the east side at an early 
period? 

Ans. There was a road that came up Hinds Lick branch by 



ffislan/ mill (li'iinihii/U'S 31 

Hinds l.ick that came over cross Clear Creek to a small liik. ihriicc 
cross a bald point to a small lick abovt- Hoys Lick, at the head of 
a little drain that emptied into Hoy's l^ick Branch; there was a 
plain trace from the small lick to Hoy's Lick, from thence down the 
trace by a small lick about % of a mile from Hoy's Lick which T 
did not mention before, and so along by Azariah Martin's as bct'orc 
mentioned, thence along by the Red Lick, and I believe the trace 
on the west side of the creek at an early period was as large as 
the trace on the east side of the creek; I mean from Hoy's Lick 
along up by here, or Martin's. I do not remember that there was 
a trace cross the Red Lick Fork where the Indians crossed when 
I was out with Adams. There was a trace led up on both sides of 
said creek. 

Question by Green Clay. How many licks do you laiow of on 
the waters of Station Camp on the east side of the creek from the 
mouth up to the War Road Fork? 

Ans. The Indian Picture Lick, the next is where the War Road 
the South Fork crossing of the creek the first. 

Question by Clay. How many on the west side of the creek? 

Ans. I remember of thirteen at and below Azariah Martin's on 
the waters of Station Cam]). And above Azariah xMartin's to the 
ford where the War Road crosses, I know of twelve. What I mean 
by the War Road is that that runs up the South Fork of Station 
Camp as above mentioned from the Indian Picture Lick and out 
at the head of the War Fork, and so out to the Wilderness Road. 
I don't know that the Indians have any particular crossing place 
or road that they traveled — one more than another. When out with 
Adams we did not see any Indians. My reason for believing that 
they were Indians was that, that I knew of no white man being out 
in the woods at that time but ourselves, and it was generally be- 
lieved by the company at the time that it was Indians. I do not 
remember of any patli from Hoy's Lick to Station Camp bottom at 
the time that Shelby and Logan went out on the campaign up the 
Kentucky River. When we came to the bottom there was no old 
trace to the ford of the creek until Shelby and Logan went out; 
they made a smart trace all the way to the ford of the creek; the 
path went through the said Picture Lick, then turned over the ridge 
to the head of a small branch that ran into the Kentucky and down 
the branch to the river bottom and up the river bottom, thence 
along on the hill sides next to the river, until it crossed a small 
creek that is called Doe Creek, thence still up the river on this side. 

Joseph Proctor was not only a woodsman, Indian scout and spy, 
but a preacher of the Gospel.

This lick at Hinton's is on a branch that runs into Crooked

three and four hundred poles; from the lick to main Station Camp 
may be more or less than % of a mile.

Joshua Barton, deceased, under Henderson? Ans. I was, and acted 
as marker to mark a 1,000 acre survey, and this honey locust and 
ash was the beginning corner where we now are. Ques. by the same. 
When was the 1,000 acre survey made under Henderson? Ans. I 
believe it was in April in the year 1776. Ques. by Samuel Campbell. 
Who surveyed it? Ans. John Kennedy. Ques. by the same. What 
kind of a compass did he have to survey it with? Ans. A small 
compass which is called a pocket compass. Ques. by Robert Cald- 
well. Which way did you go when making the survey under Hen- 
derson from the beginning corner? Ans. The surveyor was ordered 
to run south, which I believe he did, and crossed one or two large 
branches of Silver Creek, 400 poles to the corner, a black walnut, 
and I think there was another tree marked for the corner, but do 
not remember what it was, thence west crossing Silver Creek four 
times to a walnut, hickory and mulberry, about one hundred yards 
from the creek, which is the corner we now are at, and from here 
we intended to run north, and I believe did, with a view to strike 
the southwest corner of the Stockfleld tract of 1,000 aci'es, but did 
not find it, to my knowledge, at the time, nor did make a corner 
as I recollect, but concluded wherever the lines intersected should 
be the corner, thence with my line of 1,000 acres granted me under 
Henderson to the beginning corner. Ques. by Samuel Campbell. Do 
you recollect the length of the second line? Ans. I don't, but sup- 
pose it to be 400 poles. Ques. by the same. Do you know the length 
of your line from the southeast corner to the southwest corner? 
Ans. I called it 400 poles. Ques. by Caldwell. Did you hear John 
Kennedy say he had an entry on the waters of Silver Creek before 
he surveyed a tract of 1,000 acres for Joshua Barton, deceased? 
Ans. I know he had a claim called the Locust Bent, and I believe 
had one under Henderson for the same. Ques. by ditto. Did you 
understand, when being in company with Barton and Kennedy, that 
these two claims above mentioned would interfere?. Ans. No. I 
never heard any such thing and this deponent further saith not.

Jones, Robert Porter and William Green, Commissioners, on 300 
acres entered in the name of John Kennedy. Surveyer in the name 
of Thomas Kennedy. 

1 have been acquainted with the place ever since the year ITSO. 
Had often heard his brother, John Kennedy, say that he had an 
entry of 300 acres, that he withdrew his entry adjoining the Elk 
Garden. Had corn in the bottom below the spring. Don't know of 
any other spring on Silver Creek that would answer the description 
of this spring; nor of no long flat neither on the north nor on the 
south sides of the Silver Creek that would answer the description of 
this bottom betwixt this place and the mouth of the long branch. 
(Describes trees marked J. K., etc., and speaks of the spring.) I 
traveled the trace which crossed Silver Creek at the lower end of 
Bogie's farm the first time in the year 17 79, and it was called at 
that time Boone's Trace, from Boones to I^ogans and from Logans 
to Boones. I knew of another trace leading from Boonesborough 
to Logans known by the name of Logan's Trace, at a place known 
by the name of the Cool Lick where McCormack's mill dam is now, 
down about 8 or 10 miles above this place. I think I heard of the 
trace from Logan's to Boone's which crossed Silver Creek near wher^ 
Andrew Bogie now lives called Logan's Trace. 

(E, page 596) James Anderson, in the same case, same place, 
same date, before the same Commissioners. 

In an early date, or before the year 1786, he thinks, he was ai 
this spring, and saw the walnut tree described by Joseph Kennedy, 
marked J. K., not exceeding 10, 15 or 20 yards from the head or 
the spring, and the bottom above and below said spring was cany. 
I knew the long branch and it runs into the creek about 14 mile 
above the place on the west side of the creek. I was acquaint-^d 
with the trace that crossed here called by some Boone's and by some 
Logan's as early as 1779, and heard of the trace that crossed Silver 
Creek at the Bull Lick near where William Dryden built a mill, now 
owned by James McCormack, called Logan's Trace. 

(E, page 596) Ambrose Ross, on the same occasion, before the 
same Commissioners. 

Some time in the year 17 80 Samuel Bell and myself were about 
on this side of Silver Creek a hunting, and steering through to the 
creek came to this spring. Samuel Bell being on the speculative 
line, made marks upon the bank about the head of the said spring. 
The creek was so high we could not cross conveniently. We went 
up the creek and crossed. When I went to Kennedy's Station and 
was telling John Kennedy what a fine spring I had seen on Silver 
Creek, and gave Kennedy direction and description of the place, 
and the same year I was at the same spring and saw the first two 
letters of John Kennedy's name upon an elm or walnut. Th(> back 
water of the creek came up that near the head of the spring that 
we had to go round the head of the spring as it was very cany, and 
we could not see ten yards. through the cane. It ajipeared from th^

water and cane we had no chance of crossing. Ques. by Bogie. The 
spring that you were at and are now describing, is this the same 
spring that we are now at, that is now before my doors? Ans. Yes. 
I considered the spring to be in the banlv of the creels; from the 
appearance it then had.

in the deposition before James McCormack and William Bryant, 
Commissioners. 

The Deposition of William Cradlebough, taken at the Rock Back 
Encampment the second Monday in August, on the Middle Foriv 
of Kentucky, 1805. 

William Cradlebough, in company with Thomas Brooks and John 
Calloway, camped at this place in the year 1780, in Xovombor or 
December, for several days and made a canoe at this place, which 
stump is now here, and on this beech is my letters thus W. C. 17 80, 
which I then cut; also letters thus J. C. which John Calloway cut. 
This place is on the south side of the said Middle Fork, and nearly 
opposite where McWillard now lives, and I this day marked my 
letters on the same beech tree thus W. C. B. I never heard any 
other place called Rock Back Encampment. Thomas Brooks has 
often told me in his life time we were here together was the only 
time he was up here on the Middle Fork of Kentucky. The tree 
that stands about 4 miles above this place on the south side of this 
river at a buffalo lick, on a branch near the mouth marked thus 
T. Brooks, 1780, appears like Thomas Brooks' letters, and I do 
verily believe the letters were cut by him, and on the same beech 
tree letters cut thus J. C, which I take to be John Calloway's let- 
ters. I do not remember of seeing them cut the letters, but we 
were all about there often. The bottom which is about 4 miles 
above Williams Creek, being on the Middle Fork of Kentucky, he 
takes to be the same bottom where he. Brooks and Calloway did 
encamp and cut down several trees in the ^ame year, but as the 
timber was young and not lasting wood, I cannot see my signs now, 
but the course of the river and the looks of the bottom looks so 
much like the bottom 1 do believe it to be the same bottom, which 
at the lower end of said bottom there is corner trees marked as 
corner trees, towit: three lynns, elm, beech and buckeye. I have 
here cut my letters thus W. C. B. And the deponent being on Cabin 
Creek, now called the Upper Twins, saith, that the creek was called 
in those days when T. Brooks and Calloway and himself was here 
Williams Creek, because he said deponent first found it v\'hen hunt- 
ing, and that himself and Brooks and Calloway did build a cabin 
at this place, which is now called the Lower Twins, but called and 
known by us Cabin Creek. The cabin is rotten, but sign is in an 
oak tree and beech where we cut out cutlets and we cut our first 
letters of our names which is now here present, which place is

This is to certify that agreeable to a commission from Madison 
Circuit Court we met at the Rock Back Encampment on the Middle 
Fork of Kentucky and swore William Cradlebough, to witness such 
things as he knew concerning several Encampments and marked 
trees, and we marked our letters and our names at the said Rock 
Back and adjourned to the tree marked Y. Brooks, and the bortom 
where it was said to be trees fell, and to the Twins as is now

Deposition of .James McCormick, taken on the Middle Fork of 
the Kentucky River. In the fall of 17!ts .lames Trabue applied to 
me to survey for him on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky and fur- 
nished me with several entries. One calling for a buffalo lick at 
the mouth of the small creek on the north side, with a tree marked 
thus T. Brooks, 1780, which tree and lick T seen the same fall and 
the marks that was on the tree appeared to be very old, or old 
enough to have been marked at the same date. There was several 
entries that called for another encampment called the Rock Back 
Encampment, which by the direction of William Cradlebough I 
found at the same time with W. C. 1780 and L C. 17S0 cut on a 
small beech tree, which mark also appears to be old enough for 
that date, which rock and tree William Cradlebough this day swore 
in my presence. Also the bottom I surveyed for David Trabue, 
with the trees fell down, was so well described by William Cradle- 
bough and the course of the river that I verily believe it to be the 
same bottom. Notwithstanding the trees is rotted and gone and 
being present with him in search of the bottom.

to John Mounce on Hay's Fork (made in 1779), Sept. 2, 1806, be- 
fore William Miller and Richard Calloway, Commissioners of the 
Court. 

I think it was in the year 1779, and in the month of May, and 
Hugh Seper was in company with me, when I made this improve- 
ment. In the month of June following I was here with John Mounce, 
Yelverton Peyton and David Miller. I gave it to John Mounce. I 
think he did mark some trees or sapplings. This is the same im- 
provement I made for Black and afterwards gave to Mounce. It 
is about 2 5 or 30 steps from the mouth of the branch that we went 
up on our route to Boonesborough. I think there is appearance of 
the old improvement upon two trees. It is about V^ mile below the 
Mounce improvement or Mounce's Fork below here. This is about 
Vo mile from Kincaid. John Kincaid's improvement was in a good 
smart bend in the creek in a flat bottom near the creek. The 
branch was the conditional line between Mounce's and Kincaid's. 
They both marked the two first letters of their names there. 
Mounce's was to run up the creek and Kincaid's down for quantity. 
I was with Mounce when he laid in his claim and obtained a certifi- 
cate. I think the land he intended to hold was from Mounce's 
Fork up the creek. I should think this place from the intersection 
of the two forks was so remarkable that a man who was formerly 
acquainted with it might know it again. The branch that mouths 
in just above this improvement and comes down through John Kin- 
caid's improvement or plantation is the branch that we went up 
on our way to Boonesborough.

In June, 1779, I was in company with John Boyle, John Mounce 
and John Kincaid at Mounce's improvement (described in John 
Boyle's deposition) on the way to Boonesborough. John Boyle had 
made the improvement in company with Hugh Seper for James

Black, which Boyle afterwards gave to John Mounce as a favor, 
because there was not room between Kincaid and Black for him.

I came to Kentucky in the last half of the year 1778, or the 
beginning of 1779. Was acquainted with Flint Creek in February 
or March, '79; acquainted with Drowning Creek and Muddy Creek 
since February or March, '79. Drowning Creek known by me to 
be a place of notoriety, and was a place well known to the inhabi- 
tants of Estill's Station, Boonesborough and the settlements adja- 
cent thereto from my earliest acquaintance in the county till the 
present day.

I heard of this place in 1779 and got fully acquainted with it in 
1780 and 1781. He speaks of Banta's cabins, Duree's cabins, and 
old man Duree and James Estill when he got his arm broken by 
the Indians at the time they (the Bantas) brought their tools, etc. 
I came to Kentucky in April, 1779, and moved my family out that 
fall to Boonesborough, and lived at McGee's Station in the years 
1780 and 1781. (He speaks of Viney Fork, Bald Hills and Bald 
Knobs, etc.) In the year 1779, about April 13, I came to this coun- 
try. Old William Calk told me those was the knobs that went by 
their names. Blue Lick Knob, Joe's Lick Knob, and the Red 
Lick Knobs. 

(I, page 22 1 Ambrose Coffee, at the same time and place, be- 
fore the same Commissioners, in the same case. 

I first became acquainted with this Muddy Creek that we are 
now at in the year 1777, and with Deban's Run in March, 1779. 
Old Mr. Duree, Peter Duree, Henry Duree, Peter Cossart came out 
in company with myself from Boonesborough. We came up the 
East Fork of Otter Creek to where the trace forked. Said old Mr. 
Duree, we will take the right hand fork, and we followed that trace 
or buffalo road it was, and blazed until we fell upon the Run that 
we are now at. So soon as we could come to this Run, old Mr. 
Duree, says he, there is Deban's Run, and says he, I gave 
it its name. His two sons, Peter Cossart that was with him, and 
myself, the other three said the same, and said they called it De- 
ban's Run. In the spring of 1781, deponent and John Banta and 
Albert Bones came out a hunting from Boonesborough to Banta's 
cabins and killed some buffalos and returned to Boonesborough. 
These people, Durees and Cossart, were not all killed by the In- 
dians in the year 17 80, but I think Peter Duree and John Bullock 
and John Bullock's wife — a daughter of old man Duree — were killed 
in the year 17 82, as well as I remember; but I kept no memoran- 
dum of it. Old Mr. Duree, I don't know when he died, but Henry

Dnree and Daniel Diiree were killed at (he While Oak Spring? in 
an early period. Cassart was killed at RooneKborouKh on an early 
date. Thirty-three years ago I came to Kentucky, in the year 1776, 
and landed at the town called Lee's Town, on the Kentucky; from 
thence Major Crittenden & Co. went near the head of Willis Lee's 
Run, waters of Elkhorn, and now known by Crit tcndcni's Cam]). 
There we cleared a piece of ground and planted corn in the same 
year, 1776, and in the fall of 1776 Major Crittenden & Co. went ui) 
the Ohio and I went to Harrodsburg, and there I continued part 
of that fall and the greater part of the winter; and rei)ort came 
that Colonel Boone was taken, from the Lower Blue Licks to T^o- 
gan's Station, and to Harrodsburg the report came; and one Richard 
May raised a company to go to the Lower Blue Licks to see what 
was done. I was one of the company with Richard May. Some time 
in February, 1777, we arrived at Boonesborough, and there I con- 
tinned till 1785 or 1786, and moved then out of Boonesborough into 
Bush's Settlement; stayed there a year or two; from that there 
were two of the Martin's built a mill on Lower Howard's Creek and 
there I attended that mill going upon two years, and then Colonel 
Solder bought her, and after he bought her I attended her near 
two years, and from that I moved up to the head of Spencer Creek, 
near old Nicholas Anderson's, and from that to State Creek, where 
I now live, near Myer's Mill. I knew no fields in 1781. I knowed 
Banta's Improvement. It was up here above the mouth of Deban's 
Run on the bank of Muddy Creek, and the Improvement where Peter 
Duree, John Bullock and John Bullock's wife were killed, on the 
branches of Muddy Creek. Ques. by Green Clay. When you came 
over the high seas were you sold in America as a servant '■' Who did 
you serve your time with? and who is there in this country that 
knew you in your servitude? Ans. Yes, I was sold as a servant. 
I served my time with John Huff, and I don't know that there is 
any person in this country that knew me in my servitude. (It was 
proved that he was sold for passage fare over the sea.) 

William Buchanon got killed at Holder's defeat at the upper 
Blue Licks.

Article 4 — A Brief History of Albemarle County, Virginia, which 
Furnished many of the Early Settlers of Kentucky. 

(The facts given in this article are taken, by his permission, almost 
entirely from Rev. Edgar Woods' History of Albemarle. ) 

In the early colonial days of Virginia, settlements commenced 
principally on the water courses, stretching along the fertile bottoms 
of the James River and the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, and the 
tributaries thereto. After the landing at Jamestown it was more 
than a century before white men ])assed the Blue Ridge to make 
settlements, and when the hardy, restless first settlers did cross over. 



.'"58 Historij and Gpnealogirs 

and the news went abroad, a rapid stream came and the tide of pop- 
ulation in the succeeding twenty years spread to the interior por- 
tions of the colony — one stream flowing westward from the sea- 
coast and another up the Shenandoah Valley from the wilderness 
of Pennsylvania, which was urged on by the rage and boom of spec- 
ulators. 

The county of Goochland was formed in 1727, some ten years 
or moi'e after Gov. George Spotswood's expedition to the Blue Ridge, 
and the first settlements included in the present bounds of Albe- 
marle were then parts of Goochland and Hanover. These settle- 
ments extended along up the South Anne, the James, the Rivanna, 
and the Hardware, meeting others coming from the foot of the 
Blue Ridge made by immigrants who had come up the valley and 
crossed the mountain at Woods' Gap (where Michael Woods set- 
tled). The first land patents were taken out June 16, 172 7, by 
George Hoomes (Hume) on the far side of the mountain called 
Chestnut, 3,100 acres, and Nicholas Merewether, 13,762 acres at 
the first ledge of mountains called Chestnut, including the present 
seat of Castle Hill. These were the first grants of the virgin soil 
within the present bounds of Albemarle, located in the line of the 
South Anne River, up which the population had been slowly creep- 
ing and increasing for a number of years. It was nearly two years 
later before the next patents were issued to lands on the James 
River. In 173 a number were issued on the James and both sides 
of the Rockfish, on the Rivanna at its forks and up the north fork, 
on both sides of the Hardware, on the Great Mountain and the 
Hardware, in the forks of the James, called to this day Carter's 
Mountain, and on the branches of the Hardware, Rockfish and other 
creeks flowing into the James, and over the South West Mountain 
on Turkey Run. In 1731 patents were issued on the Rivanna, at 
the mouth of Buck Isiand Creek, on the west side of Carter's Moun- 
tain, on the back side of Chestnut Mountain, and along the Rivanna 
within the present limits of Fluvanna. In 17 32 there were eight 
grants confined to the James and the western base of the South 
West Mountain, and four patents in 1733, none reaching farther 
west than the west bank of the Rivanna under the shadow of the 
South West Mountain, and thirteen grants in 173 4, located mainly 
near the bases of the South West Mountain on the Rivanna and 
Mechunk. After this time there was a more rapid settlement of 
the county of Albemarle. In 173 5 the number of patents were 
twenty-nine, the population was yet sparse. The whole Peidmont 
Region and the fertile valley were simultaneously opened and strong 
inducements held out to settlers and patents were taken out this 
year on the Green in the southern part, on the south fork of the 
Hardware near the cove, on the south fork of the Rivanna, on 
Meadow Creek, Icy Creek. Priddys and Buck Mountain Creeks; in 
the north on Naked, Fishing, Mountain Falls, Piney Mountain and 
Meadow Creeks, and in 173 6 on the north fork of the Hardware 
in North Garden. In 173 7, nineteen patents; among the patentees — 
Michael Woods, his son Archibald and his son-in-law William Wal- 
lace, more than 1,3 00 acres on Licking Hole, Mechum's River and 
Beaver Creek, embracing Blair Park and the present Mechum's De- 
pot, and the same day Michael Woods purchased the 2,000 acre pat- 
ent of Charles Hudson on Ivy Creek. These transactions took place 
at Goochland Court House and Williamsburg. It is believed that 
Michael Woods and his families were the first settlers in Western 
Albemarle, and perhaps anywhere along the east foot of the Blue 



Ilishini mid ( iciicdiogies 39 

Rids'e in Virginia. The first patent: to lands on Moorman's Jlivor 
was in 17:'.9, on the North Fork, to David Mills, 2,850 acres. 

Albemarle County was established in 1744 by legislative enact- 
ment, its existence to begin the first of January, 1745; the reasons 
assigned for its formation was the divers inconveniences attending 
the ui)per inhabitants of Goochland on account of their great dis- 
tance from the Court Hovise and other places usually appointed for 
pu1)lic meetings; the dividing lines were to run from the i)oint of 
Fork of the James River (the mouth of the Rivanna, where Co- 
lumbia now stands) N. 3 degrees E. to the Louisa line, and from 
the same i)oint a direct course to Brooks' Mill; thence the same 
course to Appomattox River, which embraced the county of Buck- 
ingham, parts of Appomattox and Campljell and the counties of Am- 
herst, Nelson and Fuvanna — the Blue Ridge being the western line, 
that portion of the present county of Albemarle north of a line run- 
ning past the mouth of Iva Creek, with the course N 65 degrees W, 
remained in Louisa for sixteen years longer. 

Albemarle was named in commemoration of the Governor Gen- 
eral of the Colony, William Anne Keppel, second Earl of Albemarle. 
The organization took place the fourth Thursday of February, 1745, 
probably on the plantation of Mrs. Scott, near the present Scotts- 
ville, where the next court was ordered to be held; the commissioned 
Justices of the Peace present were Joshua Fry, Peter Jefferson, Allen 
Howard, William Cabell, Joseph Thompson, and Thomas Ballew. 
Howard and Cabell administered to Fry and Jefferson the oaths of 
a Justice of the Peace and of a Judge of a Court of Chancery, the 
Abjuration oath — renouncing allegiance to the House of Stewart, 
and the Test oath — affirming and receiving of the sacrament ac- 
cording to the Rite of the Church of England. Thereupon Fry and 
Jefferson administered the same oaths to the other commissioned 
Justices; the court was then held. William Randolph, by commis- 
sion of Thomas Nelson, secretary of the council, was api)ointed 
Clerk; Joseph Thompson, Sheriff; Joshua Fry, Surveyor; Edmund 
Craig, King's Attorney by commission of William Gooch, Governor 
of the Colony, and all were duly qualified and took the oaths. The 
following May Benjamin Harris was sworn in as Deputy Clerk, John 
Harris, Constable. Andrew Wallace was appointed Surveyor for the 
opening of the road from the Davis Stockton Ferry to Mechum's 
River Ford and Archibald and Michael Woods, Jr., to assist in 
clearing it. 

William Harris petitioned for a road from his plantation on 
Green Creek to the South River, that is the James, on the lower side 
of Ballinger's Creek. And Robert Rose, Clerk, petitioned for one 
from his place on Tye River to Leakes, in the neighborhood of Wil- 
liam Harris. The hands of William Harris and others were ordered 
to clear a road from the Green Mountain road, near the head of Hog 
Creek, to the Court House road, below the Stith's Quarter. 

The Browns of Brown's Cove, for whom the cove was named, 
began to obtain grants in Albemarle soon after its foiniation. They 
had, also, patented large areas of land in Louisa, both before and 
after its establishment in 1742. Benjamin Brown and his eldest 
son, Benjamin, from 1747 to 1760, entered more than 6,U(io acres 
on both sides of Doyle's River, in Albemarle County. Benjamin 
Brown devised to his son, Bezaleel Brown, the Bear cornfield. In 
a deed of 1789, conveying land north of Stony point, one of the lines 
passed by "the Bear Spring on the road." 

The Brown family, from their early settlement, their prominent 
part in public affairs, the high character generally prevalent among 



40 Histovji (i)i(J Genealogies 

them, and the lasting impress they have made on the natural scenery 
of the county, is one of the most noted in its history. In 1805 
William Jarman and Brightberry Brown undertook the construction 
of Brown's Turnpike, beginning at a point called Camping Rock, 
crossing the ridge at Brown's Gap, descending through Brown's 
Cove and terminating at Mechum's Depot. In 1819 James Jarman, 
eldest son of William Jarman, and Sarah Maupin, his wife, sold 
his share of the turnpike to Ira Harris. 

In 1761 the territory on the south side of the James River was 
cut off to form the county of Buckingham. North of the James 
River and west of the Rockfish, from its mouth up to the mouth of 
the Green, thence west of line running directly to the house of 
Thomas Bell, continuing to the Blue Ridge, constituted the county 
of Amherst, and there was added to Albemarle the part of Louisa 
west of a line beginning at the boundary between Albemarle and 
Louisa on the ridge between Mechunk and Beaver Dam Swamp, and 
running along the ridge intersecting east course line from the 
Widow Cobb's plantation, thence a direct course to the Orange line 
opposite the planta ion of Ambrose Coleman. These changes left 
the Court House on the eytreme southern border, very inconvenient 
to the people of the northern section, and a new site was fixed on 
land purchased of Col. Richard Randolph, of Henrico, 1,000 acres, 
the town called and known as Charlottesville, established in 1762, 
named in honor of Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg Strelitz, who 
had recently become Queen of England, as the wife of George III. 
It occupied almost the exact center of the county, in a fertile coun- 
try, and a beautiful situation; a more suitable location could not 
have been chosen. The first sale of lots was in September, 1763, 
when fourteen lots were sold to seven purchasers; the next sale was 
in October, 1765, when twenty-three lots were disposed of, fourteen 
of which were at once purchased by Benj. Brown and David Ross. 

Near the close of the Revolutionary War a great misfortune be- 
fell the country in the loss of the early records of the county by 
the wanton ravages of the British troops under Tarlton, causing a 
break in the records from 1748 to 1783, covering a most interesting 
period in the history of the county, which affects not only the coun- 
ty of Albemarle, but the whole country; and in 179 4 a commission 
was appointed by the court to reinstate the lost or destroyed records. 
The transactions of the Commissioners were ordere \ to be recorded, 
but the result was far from making good the loss. 

Tarlton's raid took place in June, 1781. The British com- 
mander, with two hundred and fifty horses, was pa-ssing Louisa at 
a rapid rate when espied by John Jouett, a temporary sojourner 
there, suspecting their object, he leaped on his horse and being 
familiar with the roads, he took the shortest cuts and soon left the 
enemy behind. Tarlton's detention at Castle Hill for breakfast 
was also advantageous, and meeting an acquaintance at Milton, 
Jouett dispatched him to Monticello to warn Mr. Jefferson, then 
Governor of the State, while he pressed on to Charlottesville to 
give the alarm, and the Legislature, which had just convened, was 
notified in time to adjourn and make a hurried retreat to Staunton. 
In a short while Tarlton and his troops entered the town; though 
disappointed, they remained a part of two days, and it is said de- 
stroyed 1,000 fire locks, 400 barrels of powder and a considerable 
quantity of clothing and tobacco; but the greatest loss, as well as 
the most useless waste, was the destruction of the public records. 

In the diary of Thomas Lewis, 1746, he describes his journey 
to Orange County to join the surveyors to run the line between 



J/isl(iri/ mil/ Uniiiihiijli's II 

the Xcrthern Neck and th(> rest of the colony, wherein he states 
that he crossed from Augusta at Woods' Gay and stopijed with 
Michael Woods both on his departure and return. 

As late as near the close of the Revolution, when Rockfish Gap 
was much used, the i)risoncrs of the convention army were taken 
across the Blue Ridge at Woods' Gap. The Three Notched Road 
was the dividing line between the parishes of Fredericksville and 
St. Anne's. 

The globe of St. Anne's was bought of William Harris in 1751 
by Sam'l Jordon and Patrick Napier, church wardens of ilic parish. 

The first Baptist Church of the county was organized in . January, 
177 3, in Lewis Meeting House, which stood on old David Lewis' 
place, on the elevated ground south of the Staunton road, with a 
membership of forty-eight. Tt was several years without a pastor, 
but was occasionally supplied by such ministers as John Waller, 
Elijah Craig and Lewis Craig. It was variously called "Albemarle," 
"Buck Mountain" and "Chestnut Grove." Andrew Tribble w'as 
chosen her pastor in 1777 and was ordained by Elder Lewis Craig 
and others. He purchased a farm of one hundred and seventy-five 
acres a short distance below the D. S. Tavern, which he sold in 
17S.5. He performed his pastoral duties till the time that he emi- 
grated to Madison County, Kentucky, in about 1783. He became a 
noted pioneer preacher in Madison and adjoining counties of Ken- 
tucky. He preached to Howard's Creek (Providence) Church, in 
Clark County, during the great spiritual two years' revival which 
commenced there shortly after the church had been organized and 
the church house erected, in 17 8 7, and was minister to Dreaming 
Creek (Mt. Nebo), Tales Creek and other churches in Madison 
county. 

William Woods, distinguished as "Baptist Billy," was ordained 
a minister of the Gospel at Lewis Meeting House in 1780, by Elders 
Andrew Tribble and Benjamin Burgher, and became the pastor after 
the work of Elder Tribble ceased. 

One hundred and forty i)ounds of tobacco were allowed for the 
scalp of an old wolf, and when tobacco ceased to be a medium of 
exchange, $6 and $12 were given as premiums, and scalps were 
reported in large numbers and continued for many subsequent years. 
The last on record, Isaac W. Garth was awarded $12 for killing an 
old wolf. The names appearing most frequently in this connection 
were .Jonathan Barksdale, Samuel Jameson, William Ramsay and 
Ryland Rodes. 

White Hall was an election precinct which w^ent under the suc- 
cessive names of "Glenn's Store," "W^illiam Maupin's Store," "Mau- 
pin's Tavern," "Miller's Tavern," and "Shumate's Tavern," till given 
its present name about 18 35. 

The present location of the Barrack's Road, immediately west 
of Charlottesville, was fixed about the beginning of the 18th century. 
A contention respecting it arose between Isaac Miller and John Carr, 
Clerk of the District Court, owners of the adjoining lands. After 
several views and reports it was finally determined according to 
Mr. Miller's ideas, whose residence at the time was at Rose Valley, 
near the house of Mason Gordon. 

Miller's School House stood on Mechum's River in 1781. 

In 1803 Isaac Miller was one of the Commissioners appointed 
to draw- up a plan for a new Court House and to solicit bids for 
its erection. 

Lnder General Orders from England Lord Dunmore had, on the 
night of April 20, 1775, clandestinely removed from the magazine 



4-2 Hisfori/ and Genealogies 

in Williamsburg all the powder of the colony. The alarm spread 
rapidly throughout the province and the people flew to arms. Seven 
hundred men assembled at Fredericksburg, but receiving assurance 
that the powder would be restored were disbanded. And the people 
of Albemarle County were not slow, but promptly acted and on 
the 2nd of May, 177 5, eighteen volunteers, under Captain Charles 
Lewis, marched to Williamsburg to demand of Lord Dunmore satis- 
faction; and shortly after their return twenty-seven volunteers, 
under Lieutenant George Gilmer, 11th July, 1775, marched to Wil- 
liamsburg on a similar mission. 

Theodoric Bland, who was fourth in descent from Pocahontas 
through his grandmother, Jane Rolfe, at the outbreak of the Revo- 
lution enlisted in the contest and bore an active part throughout 
the war. He was one of a score of men who removed from Lord 
Dunmore's palace the arms and ammunition which that nobleman 
had abstracted from the public arsenal. Soon after, Bland published 
a series of bitterly indignant letters against the Governor under the 
signature of "Cassius." He was made Captain of the first troop of 
Virginia cavalry, but when six companies had been enrolled he be- 
came Lieutenant Colonel, with which rank he joined the main army 
in 1777. He was a citizen of Prince George Countv, but died in 
New York in 1790. 

In 1818 William Harris and Henry T. Harris were Commission- 
ers of Education. 

In 1828 Dr. Harris was agent for the Albemarle Bible Society. 

Soldiers of Albemarle, the 1st Virginia, were in the battles of 
Brandywine, Germantown, Guilford Court House, Ninety-six and 
Eutah Springs. The 14th Virginia, under Col. Charles Lewis, was 
in the battles of Long Bridge, King's Mountain, Ninety-six, Brandy- 
wine, Germantown and Monmouth. The 10th Virginia was in the 
battles of Guilford Court House, Eutah Springs and Yorktown. 

The statute guaranteeing religious freedom having been enacted, 
the old law requiring all marriages to be solemnized by ministers 
of the established church was abolished and the courts authorized 
to license ministers of all denominations to perform the marriage 
ceremony. Under the new law William Irvine, a Presbyterian min- 
ister, was licensed in 1784; Matthew Maury, Episcopalian, William 
Woods, Benjamin Burgher, and Martin Dawson, Baptists, in 17 85. 
The first Methodist minister receiving such license was Athanasias 
Thomas, who lived near the present site of Crozet, in 1793. 

The convention which met July 17, 1775, following the second 
march to Williamsburg, to provide for soldiers, etc., formed sixteen 
districts in the colony. Albemarle was placed in the district with 
Buckingham, Amherst and East Augusta. The committee of this 
district met Sept. S, 1775, at the house of James Woods, in Am- 
herst; present from Albemarle, Charles Lewis and George Gilmer; 
from Amherst, William Cabell, John and Hugh Rose; from Buck- 
ingham, John Nicholas, Charles Patterson and John Cabell; and 
from Augusta, Sampson Matthews, Alexander McClannahan, and 
Samuel McDowell. Thomas Jefferson was the other delegate from 
Albemarle, but was absent attending the Continental Congress, of 
which he had been appointed a member the previous June. — History

The territory of Culpeper originally embraced what is now Cul- 
peper, Madison and Rappahannock, and was the subject matter of 
a protracted controversy, involving the title to several million acres 
of land. All the land within the heads of Tappahannock (or Rap- 
pahannock) and Quivough (or Potomac), the courses of those rivers 
and the bay of Chesapayoak, etc., was granted at different times 
by King Charles I and II to Lord Hopton, the Earl of St. Albans, 
and others, and subsequently by King James to Lord Culpeper, who 
had purchased the rights of the other parties. Thomas the Fifth 
Lord Fairfax, had married Catherine, the daughter of Lord Cul- 
peper, and become the proprietor of this princely domain, commonly 
known as the Northern Neck. In 1705 Gov. Nott, of Virginia, in 
the name of the King, granted 1,9 2 acres of land to Henry Bev- 
erley, in the forks of the N. and S. branches of the Rappahannock. 
Robert Carter, known as King Carter, Fairfax's agent, objected to 
the grant as being within the limits of Lord Fairfax's grant. Vir- 
ginia's Governor and Council appointed Commissioners to meet 
Fairfax's commissioners and survey the rivers and rei)ort whether 
the south (the Ripidan) or the north branch of the Rappahannock 
was the chief stream. In 1706 the commissioners jointly reported 
that the streams seemed to be of equal magnitude. 

In 1733 Fairfax complained to the King that patents had been 
granted in the name of the Crown in the disputed territory. Other 
commissioners were appointed by the Governor and Council of Vir- 
ginia, and for Fairfax, to survey and measure the S. branch (the 
Rapidan) from the fork to the head spring and return an exact 
map of same, and describe all the tributaries. The Kings commis- 
sioners met at Williamsburg Aug. 3, 173 6. The commissioners of 
the Crown and of Fairfax made their report Dec. 14, 1736, to the 
Council for plantation affairs; Lord Fairfax took the report of his 
commissioners to England and had the matter referred to the Lords 
of Trade, to report all the facts and their opinion to the Lords of 
the Committee of Council. The Council for Plantation affairs, the 
6th of April, 174 5, confirmed the report, and afterwards l)y the 
Lords and the King, who ordered the appointment of commissioners 
to run and mark the dividing line. This was done in 1746, and made 
the branch of the Rapid Anne, called the Conway, the head stream 
of the Rappahannock, and the southern boundary of the Northern 
Neck — thus confirming to Lord Culpeper the original county of 
Culpeper or to the i)roprietor of Lord Fairfax. 

Fairfax v.'as the first town, established by act of assembly in 
1759, since changed to Culpeper. 

Culpeiier was named in honor of Thomas Lord Culpeper, Gov- 
ernor of Virginia 1680-3, was formed in 174S from Oi'ange County 
— Orange was taken from Spotsylvania, which had been cut from 
Essex. 

On October 21, 1765, the sixteen .lustices of the Peace for Cul- 
peper County drew up and signed a protest to Gov. Fanquier against 
the imposition of the stamp act, emphasizing their protest by re- 
signing their commissions, and same was recorded in Deed Book 
E, page 13S, by Roger Dixon, the first Clerk of the Court of the 
County.

Histori/ and Genealogies 



The present limits of the county comprise an average length of 
twenty miles, with a breadth of about eighteen miles, drained by 
the Rappahannock and its branches along the northeast and the 
Rapid Anne and its branches along the southeast and southwest 
boundaries. The Great Southern Railway runs through the county. 

Culpeper minute men distinguished themselves in the Revolu- 
tion. The brilliant John Randolph, of Roanoke, in the U. S. Senate,* 
said: "They were raised in a minute, armed in a minute, marched 
in a minute, fought in a minute, and vanquished in a minute." 

The earliest County Court held for Culpeper, as shown by the 
Deed Book (the first Minute Book having been lost) was 18th of 
May, 174 9. 

Brandy Station was the great battle ground between the cavalry 
of the armies of Northern Virginia and of the Potomac during the 
war between the States. It was the scene of quite a number of 
pitched battles, in which thousands of cavalrymen met in deadly 
conflict. 

Other engagements in the county were the battle of Cedar Run 
and minor ones, the battles of near Culpeper C. H., July 12, 1862; 
Brandy Station, Aug. 20, 18 62; Kelley's Ford, Aug. 21, 1862, and 
March 17, 1863; Rappahannock's Station, Kelley's Ford and Brandy 
Station, Aug. 1-3, 1863, and Kelley's Ford, Nov. 7, 1863.

Ai'ticlc S — Ilt'ius ('(>iiii('«tiiij; tlic Miller \aiin' witii K\<'iits. 

The histories of our country give many interesting aceounts of 
the pioneer periods of Kentuclvy, and in many of the events of that 
period the Miller name was represented, and took active |)art, and 
the old archives of the State and Counties thereof show the part 
they played in the formation and development of our country, and 
the making of the laws and societies of same. 

Here follows some little history with which the name, Miller, 
is connected, that will be interesting to many, and shows — to some 
extent — the important events in which the Millers took part. 
(From Collins' and other histories and Court Records) 

THE MILLER COMPANY. 

Section 1. In the spring of 1775, William Miller, .Tohn Miller, 
and twelve other gentlemen came in canoes down the Ohio River, 
and up the Licking to the Lower Blue Licks, where they were 
joined by Hinkson's company. Each party sent out men who ex- 
plored and examined the country, and reported at the Blue Licks. 
From whence they traveled the Main Buffalo Trace towards the point 
where the City of Lexington now is, till reaching a trace turning 
West, where the Hinkson Company departed. The Miller party 
camped on Miller's Run at the crossing of the Lower Limestone, 
or Ruddell's Road, and went over the country and selected lands 
for the improvement, and divided same by lot. (Collin's Ky. Hist.) 

JOHN MILLER. 

Section 2. In 1784, John Miller settled about one mile from 
Hinkson Creek, towards Blue Lick, and one mile North-east of 
what is now Millersburg — then known as Miller's Station. Millers- 
l)urg was established in 1817, and named for this John Miller. 

The Millersburg Seminary was established there in 1852, by 
Rev. John Miller, M. D. (Collins' Ky. Hist.) 

COL. JOHN MILLER. 

Section 3. In the fall of 1784 Col. John Miller left his home and 
friends in Albemarle and came to Kentucky, at that time a part of 
Virginia, and settled in the cane on the head waters of Otter Creek, 
in Madison county, the very spot where the city of Richmond is, 
and acquired property there, which he improved, building the first 
house at the place. He was among the first magistrates of the 
county by commission from His Excellency, Patrick Henry, Governor 
of Virginia. The town of Richmond was laid off "beginning at" 
John Miller's fodder house, and the Legislature authorizing the re- 
moval of the county seat from Milford to Richmond, directed the 
Court to adjourn to "John Miller's barn." 

COL. NICHOLIS MILLER. 

Section 4. In Hardin County, Col. Nicholis Miller, Dan Ver- 
trees and others, went one day in pursuit of a maurading band of 
Indians, came suddenly upon them when a desperate fight ensued. 
At the first shot Vertrees fell, another was siezed by a powerful 
savage, who wrenched the gun from his hands, and was in the act 



52 Flisfori/ and Gmcalogies 

of tomyhawking him, when Miller quickly killed the Indian, causing 
the other marauders to flee in confusion. (Collins' Ky. Hist.) 

HENRY MILLER AND CHRISTOPHER MILLER 

Section 5. History relates that in June, 1794, from his head- 
quarters at Fort Greenville, Ohio, General Wayne (Mad Anthony) 
dispatched a company of his men, among whom was one Henry 
Miller, with orders to bring into camp an Indian as a prisoner to 
be questioned as to the enemy's intention. Henry Miller had been 
raised among the Indians, having been captured in his youth, with 
his younger brother, Christopher Miller, and adopted into their 
tribe — the younger brother still remained with the savages. Press- 
ing on cautiously into the Indian country they finally found a camp 
on the Anglaize River of three Indians — situated on a high, open 
piece of ground — the only shelter near was a large newly fallen 
tree, the top thereof full of leaves — going round to the rear of the 
camp, they went on their all fours, sheltered by the tree top, to 
within about sixty yards of the camp. The Indians were busy cook- 
ing meat, making merry antics, and having a big time, unaware 
of danger. One of the white party, a perfect athlete, was to cap- 
ture one Indian, while Miller and another comrade were to manage 
the other two. Two of the Indians being quickly slain, the other 
Indian fled down the river bank, turned suddenly and sprang off the 
bluff into the water to cross. The river bottom was of soft mud, 
and the Indian sank down half way up his body: before he could 
get out one of the men (McClellan) was upon him threatening to 
kill him unless he threw up his hands and surrendered, and he did 
surrender. After washing the mud and paint off of him he was 
found to be a white man. He refused to speak or give an account 
of himself. He was tied on a horse and the party, with their pris- 
oner, set out for headquarters, Henry Miller riding along by his 
side, and in the Indian language tried to engage him in conversa- 
tion. At length it flashed across Henry Miller's mind that he 
might be his long lost brother, and he called him by his brother's 
Indian name, which surprised the prisoner, and with an eager look 
he asked how he knew his name — the mystery was then and there 
solved — they were brothers. Providence had spared him, while his 
savage companions were slain. Arriving at the fort, the prisoner 
was put in the guard-house, refusing to give up his Indian habits — 
in taste and manners he was an Indian. Days went by before he 
quit his sulkiness and reserve and talked with any freedom. At 
last, on promise of release, he agreed to give up his savage life 
and join Wayne's army. He kept his faith, and became as trusty 
as his brother Henry in his new relation of life. (Collins Ky. His.) 

CHRISTOPHER MILLER, OF HARDIN COUNTY. 

Section 6. He was taken prisoner by the Indians in 1783, 
when about fifteen years of age, and remained a prisoner among 
them (an Indian by adoption and mode of life) for eleven years. 
In 1794, he was taken from them as narrated in Section 5, and 
immediately entered into the service under General Wayne, going 
into the environs of the Indian towns, taking prisoners from them 
and bringing them to his general. It became necessary to send an- 
other flag of peace to the enemy — several having been sent and 
none returned. The eyes of the officers were centered on Miller. 
He was approached by General Wayne and given the assurance that 



f/ishin/ iiinl (iciiciihii/irs 53 

if he would undertake the task, and should succeed, he should re- 
ceive from the government an independent fortune. The airange- 
ment was made and Miller as ambassador set out on his perilous 
mission — anxious eyes followed him, but with scarcely a gleam of 
hope that he would ever return. 

Two years before Col. Hardin and Ma.i. Truman had gone on a 
similar errand of peace, but never returned, their lives paying the 
forfeit of a misplaced confidence. But Miller performed his under- 
taking — effected the object of his mission and returned safely. 
Peace was concluded. Time went on, General Wayne died, and 
Miller was forgotten. Once he applied to Congress, but for want 
of sufficient proof of his extraordinary service Congress made him 
no allowance. 

On January lo, 1819, a quarter of a cent\iry after the service 
had been rendered and when he (Miller) was the acting representa- 
tive from Hardin County, the Legislature of Kentucky unanimously 
adopted a resolution setting forth the facts as herein related, as 
within the personal knowledge of several members of that body, 
and appealing to Congress to make a liberal provision for Christo- 
I)her Miller, to whom they conceived the general government greatly 
indebted, not only upon the principle of rewarding real merit, but 
on the score of justice founded on a promise made by a man or the 
part of the United States on whose assurance Miller had a right 
to rely. (Collins.) 

THE JOHN HINKSOX AND THE JOHN MILLER COMPANIES. 

Section 7. The first white men (according to history) known 
to have navigated the Licking River for any distance were The 
John Hinkson and The John Miller Companies, of fourteen men 
each, hereinbefore mentioned in Section 1, who passed in canoes co 
the Lower Blue Licks on Main Licking, and thence out into Bourbon 
and Hardin Counties, to build cabins, make improvements and 
pitch crops. (Collins.) 

Section 8. Samuel Freeman Miller (1816-1890) an American 
jurist, born in Richmond, Madison county, Ky., in 1816, graduated 
at the Medical Department of Transylvania University in 1838, and 
removed to Barboursville to practice his profession and read law 
under Judge Ballinger and was a thorough emancipationist. He 
removed to Iowa in 1850, where he became conspicuous as a jurist, 
and was appointed Justice of the United States Supreme Court by 
President Lincoln: his decisions gave him a National reputation and 
he was especially noted for his opposition to the encroachments of 
railroad corporations. He became a great historical character — 
probably one of the ablest on the bench.. 

In 1877 he was a member of the Electoral Commission and in 
1887 was the Orator of the Continental Constitution Celebration 
held at Philadelphia. 

He was, during his whole life, deeply intei-ested about the moun- 
tains of Kentucky. In his beginning as a lawyer, he, Richard H. 
Menefee, Silas F. Woodson (afterwards Governor of Missouri. 
1872-4), Judge Ballinger (afterwards a Federal Judge of Texas), 
and many others, the most talented of the young men of the State, 
and we might say of any other state, were members of a County 
Debating Club, which convened weekly for the discussion of some 
select subject, in which could be heard abler debates than in the 
halls of Congress.

William H. Miller, from the County of Ohio. 

From the first settlement of Kentucky, whilst her territory was 
a part of Virginia, before and after she was admitted as a state of 
the Union — down through the years to this day the name has 
furnished a representative from some section in the law-making de- 
partment, as well as in various important offices created to carry 
the laws into effect. 

Section 10. Lieutenant William Miller. — But one instance is 
found recorded in the pioneer period of Kentucky where the Miller 
name has been reproached, and that in Estill's defeat at Little Moun- 
tain, in which Lieutenant William Miller has been charged by some 
writers or reporters with the cowardly act of ingloriously desert- 
ing with his few men, thereby losing the day. 

Such an act is not characteristic of the family, and if true, de- 
served unreserved censure. 

Miller and his men, six in all, under order had crossed the 
creek and came in combat with the Indians, and two of his men 
were killed and two others wounded before he retreated. Was this 
cowardice? The remaining force, under Col. Eskill retreated im- 
mediately after the death of Eskill and eight of his men. 

One historian writes: "One-third on each side had fallen, and 
the fire was still vivid and deadly as at the opening of the combat. 



//islfiri/ mill (l( iiciildiiirs 55 

Estill, dett'iniined to bring it to a close, ordered Lieutenant Miller 
to turn their Hank with six men and attack them in the rear. While 
Miller was making a small detour to the right for the purpose, most 
probably of executing his orders in good faith (over unknown 
ground — for there are various constructions placed upon his con- 
duct) the Indian commander became aware of the division of his 
adversary's force, and, with that rapid decision which so often 
flashed across Napoleon's battle fields, and whether exibiied upon 
a great or small scale, mark the great commander — determined to 
frTistrate the plan by crossing the creek with his whole force and 
overwhelming Estill, now weakened by the absence of Miller. 
This bold thought was executed with determined courage, and after 
a desperate struggle. Estill was totally overpowered and forced from 
the ground with slaughter: himself and nearly all his officers were 
killed, and it was but a poor consolation that an equal loss had 
l)een inflicted on the enemy. (Collins.). 

The view of the matter as expressed in the above quotation seems 
to be the most reasonable and certainly the most charitable. 

In executing such an order over unknown ground. It matters 
not with how great diligence the subaltern was trying to carry it 
out. under the strain and trying ordeals of the moment, a very 
short time would seem to the commander and those with him as a 
long while. 

Had the Wyandotts been repulsed, under the circumstances p^^ 
they were at that time, would Miller have been censured? v^er- 
tainly not. Nothing succeeds like success. 

In the recent bloody slaughter of the Russians and .lapanese in 
which the great Russian leaders were out generated in every en- 
gagement, although bringing to bear their best endeavors, they did 
not escape censure by the Russian Czar when they should have 
been extolled, the Russian authorities thrusting the blame on faith- 
ful under officers, who had exposed themselves and men to the 
storms of battle, contagious disease and hardships indescribable. 

Section 11. .John Miller. September 25, 1787, came into court 
and made oath that he had served nine days as Commissioner, and 
a certificate is ordered him accordingly. 

January 2 8, 1787. On motion of John Miller, his ear mark, 
to-wit: A crop and two slits in the left ear, is ordered to be re- 
corded. 

October 4, 1791. John Miller produced his commission as Col- 
onel of Militia. 

Section 12. Ichabod B. Miller was a settler in Kenton County 
as early as 1788. 

Section 13. Jacob Miller's name appears on the original roll 
and muster of scouts in the U. S. service ordered by Brig. General 
Charles Scott, of Kentucky, on the frontiers of Madison County from 
May 1, 1792 to August 22, 1792, with six other names on the roll. 

Section 14. Major Anderson Miller, in 180.5, made up a large 
lot of gun powder at his father's home in the Northern part of Jes- 
samine County; hauled it by wagon to Louisville, .bought a flat 
boat and shipped it to New Orleans, which was very profitable to 
him. (Collins). 

Section 15. Madison Court House and County Seat — March 6, 
1798 (B page 49). The commissioners appointed by law to ascer- 
tain the losses that the citizens of the town of Milford may sustain

which was ordered to be recorded. 

The Court having considered all circumstances agreeable to an

journment from time to time till the court house is erected. 

Ordered that the several officers of this court give due attend- 
ance agreeable to the above order.

County, Kentucky and Colonel James Barby of Madison County, 
Virginia, being the only two persons setting up any claim to the 
land fixed on for the permanent seat of justice for this county and 
adjoining thereto, which have been made known to this court, they 
being present, "wae" called on by this court to show cause why a 
town should not be established adjoining the Public Square to con- 
tain fifty acres of land, to be laid off in lots and streets, and to be 
be disposed of according to law, have consented that the same 
should be done. Ordered that John Miller, Robert Rodes, Green 
Clay, Robert Caldwell and John Patrick or any three of them be 
appointed <is commissioners to let out and superintend at the place 
appointed for the permanent seat of justice the building of the 
Court House, Gaol, Whipping Post, Stocks and Stray Pen, either by 
private or public contract as they may think proper, and that the 
s'd buildings be erected on such plans as they may think 
proper, and that the said commissioners cause to be affixed at each 
corner of the Public Square a stone.

Section 20. ,Iohn Franklin Miller, an American soldier, born 
in Union County, Indiana, .July, 1831, died in Washington, D. C. 
May 8, 1886. He was educated at the New York State Law School 
in 18 52, with the degree of L. B., and began the practice of law at 
South Bend. The next year he went to California and th^re prac- 
ticed three years, when he returned to Indiana and resumed the 
practice. He took an active part in the Freemont campaign in 1856. 
He was a member of the State Senate at the outbreak of the Civil 
War. and resigned to become Colonel on the staff of Governor Mor- 
ton and was soon given the command of the 2 9th Indiana Volun- 
teers. On reaching the field of action he was placed in command 
of a brigade, serving almost from the beginning of hostilities in 
the West, under Generals Sherman, Buell, Rosencrans and Thomas. 
At the battle of Stone River he distinguished himself by charging at 
the head of his brigade across the river and driving Breckinridge 
from his position, receiving a bullet in his neck during the charge. 
For his gallantry he was promoted to Brigadier General. In the 
battle of Liberty Gap he made another charge with his brigade, 
and at the moment of victory was stricken down by a second bullet 
which entered his left eye, and lodged in the bone of the forehead. 
Despite the constant pain he carried the bullet for twelve years, 
various surgeons declining to anemnt its removal thorngh fear of 
destroying the other eye, or of impairing his brain, but it was sub- 
sequently extracted in 1875. He commanded the left division of 
SOOO men at the battle of Nashville, and was brevetted a Major 
General for conspicuous bravery. At the close of the war he was 
offered a commission of high rank in the army, but declined it, 
and returned to California to practice law. He was almost imme- 
diately appointed Collector of the Port of San Francisco. After 
serving four years declined a reappointment. He then abandoned 
his i)rofession and engaged in other business pursuits and became

Congresses, was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations 
and n^ember of the Committee on Civil Service and Retrenchment. 

Memorial addresses on the life and character of John Franklin 
Miller (a Senator from California) were delivered in the Senate and 



.-),S Fllsfori/ mill Genealogies 

House of Representatives in the first session of tlie forty-ninth 
Congress, May 28, and June 19, 1886, with funeral services at the 
City of Washington March 13, 1886, and at San Francisco, Cal., 
March 21, 1886. 

Mr. Stanford, of California, in his address stated that "General 
Miller was descended from two of the most respected families of 
Virginia, and was of Swiss-Scotch extraction, his progenitor on his 
father's side having left Switzerland to find in America what was 
denied him in the land of his birth — the freedom to worship God 
in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience, while his 
paternal grand-mother's family were from Scotland. 

In the first decade of the present (19th) century, his grand- 
father and father who were then located in Franklin County. Vir- 
ginia, decided on leaving that State, and before doing so manumitted 
their slaves. It may be easily supposed that the strong apprecia- 
tion of liberty and the rights of man posessed by John F. Miller 
came to him as a natural heritage from a father and grand-father 
whose sense of justice and liberty was so great as to impel them 
to make a voluntary sacrifice at a time when slavery was by many 
held to be lawful and right. Having started out from Virginia, 
the first halting place of the Miller family was at a point in Ken- 
tucky on the Ohio River, near Maysville, where after a short stay, 
they built flat-boats upon which they floated down the Ohio to the 
present site of Cincinnati. Subsequently the family home was 
chosen in Union County, Indiana, near Indian Creek, in the great 
Miami Valley. By a coincidence, the maternal branch of John F. 
Miller's family was of the same name as the paternal. His mother's 
father, John Miller, was a Colonel commanding volunteer forces in 
Indiana and Ohio, during the war of 1812, and won an extensive 
reputation for his successful warefare against the British and their 
Indian allies. His father was a man of great force of character, a 
natural leader, and exercised a wide and powerful influence in the 
state of his adoption. Here in Union County, Indiana, a few miles 
from Cincinnati, John F. Miller was born. A short time after his 
birth the family removed to South Bend, where his early days were 
passed. 

Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who became a subordinate to John F. 
Miller at a time when neither had received or witnessed the bap- 
tism of blood, si)oke knowingly and eloquently of General Miller's 
war record, his unflinching discharge of duty and yet always con- 
siderate of the rights of men and that today his memory is green 
among the men who loved the Union in Nashville, and he is held 
in high regard among the people who at that time were the ene- 
mies of the Union. Mr. Grosvenor testified of his own personal 
regard for the memory of John F. Miller. 

Mr. Stanford further said: "But Senator Miller manifested in 
various ways, official and personal, his fidelity and consistency in 
another sphere of life and duty. He adorned the doctrine of God 
our Saviour in all things, and was a good soldier of Christ, and when 
words vv'ere no more possible signified by gesture that his faith did 
not fail or falter. General Miller's life was a success. The work 
he undertook he did well, whether in camp, in commerce or in 
Congress.. He gained commendation on every side and in every 
path of duty in which he walked. Impartial history will delight 
to place his name as a private and public citizen, high among those 
who are worthy examples for their countrymen to admire and im- 
itate." 

General Miller married Miss Mary Chess, of Penns\lvania.

Two childnMi were born of this nuuriage — a son :ind a thumhtor. 
The son died in SanFranoisco in 1S7S, at the age of seven years; 
the daughter survives. (From Memorial Addresses on the Life 
and Character of John Franklin Miller, in the U. S. Senate nnd 
House of Representatives, 1st session 4 9th Congress). 

Section 21. James Miller, an American General, born in Peiers- 
borough, N. H., April 25, 1776, died in Temple, N. H., July 7, 1X51. 
He was educated in the law, but in 1S08 he entered the Army as 
Major. In May 1813, he participated in the capture of Fort George. 
As Colonel of the 21st Infantry he fought with gallantry at Chip- 
pewa and Lundy's Lane. The success of the Americans in the 
hitter conflict was in the main due to the capture of a British 
l)attery by his command. 

In reply to General Scott's inquiry if he could take the bat- 
tery, he said, "I'll try. Sir." For these services he was brevetted 
Brigadier-General, and received from Congress a gold medal. He 
was" Governor of Arkansas Territory 1819 to 1825, and Collector 
of Customs at Salem, Massachusetts from 182 5 to 18 49. (Apple- 
ton's Cyclo.)

graduated as M. D. in the University of Pennsylvania.. In 179 6 he 
removed to New York and with Doctors Mitchell and Smith com- 
menced the publication of the "Medical Repository" the first Amer- 
ican Medical Journal. In 18 03 he was appointed resident physi- 
cian of the City of New York. He was a member of the American 
Philisophical Society. Professor of the Theory and Practice of 
Physics in the College of Physicians and Surgeons and one of the 
physicians of the New York Hospital. His "Report on the Yellow 
Fever of New York in 1805," is the source from which most later 
authors have drawn their arguments in support of the non-conta- 
geous nature of yellow fever. His writings with a biographical 
sketch were published by his brother, the Rev. Samuel Alilb;>r. (Id.) 

Section 2 4. Hugh Miller, a British Geologist, born a^ Cromarty 
on the East coast of Scotland, October 10. 1S02, died at Portabello, 
near Edinburg, December 2 6, 185 6. He belonged to that half 
Scandanavian population inhabiting the shores of the German ocean 
from Fife to Caithness. On his father's side he was fourth in de- 
scent in a line of sailors from John Feddis, one of the last of the 
buchaneers on the Spanish Main, who returned to Cromarty to enjoy 
his money, and built "the long low house" in which his distin- 
guished great grand son passed his youth. On his mother's side he 
was of Highland blood, and fifth in descent from Donald Roy of

which passed through four editions and is highly esteemed. (Id.) 

Section 26. Joseph Miller, an English actor, born probably in 
London in 1684, died there in 1738. He was popular on the stage, 
and performed with repute in several of Congreve's best comedies, 
particularly in "Love for Love" and "The Old Bachelor," to the suc- 
cess of which he is said to have materially contributed. In 17 39 a 
book of jests passing under his name and supposed to be the com- 
pilation of John Motley, author of the "Life of Peter the Great," 
was published in London and has gained a celebrity which preserves 
the name of its assumed author. (Id.)

tober 2 5, 187 4. He was at first a farmer's boy, devoted his leisure 
hours to study, and while following the trade of a basket-maker 
began to attract attention by his verses and occasional pieces in 
prose, chiefly describing rural life and scenery. He came under the 
notice of Moore, Campbell and Rogers, and the last named enabled 
him to set up as a book-seller, and thenceforth he became an indus- 
trious writer. Among his numerous novels are "Royston Gower," 
1838; "Fair Rosamond," 1839; "Lady Jane Grey," 1840; "Gideon 
Giles, the Roper," 1841; and "Godfrey Malvern," 1842. The most 
popular of his writings are his country books, including, "A Day in 
the Woods," "Beauties of the Country," "Rural Sketches," "Pic- 
tures of Country Life," "Country Scenes," etc. He also wrote a

ratory of Liebig in Giessen, became Demonstrator of Chemistry in 
King's College, and in 18 45 Professor of Chemistry. With Dr. 
Daniell he had investigated the electrolysis of salts, conducting all 
the experiments. In 1851 he was appointed a commissioner on 
the water supply of London and an assayer of the mint. He was 
the author of an important treatice entitled, "Elements of Chemis- 
try, Theoretical and Practical," London, 18 69, and of many scien- 
tific papers. (Id.)

CHAPTER -3. 



THE MILLER FAMILY. 



Article 1 — This Family is of Aiiftlo-Scotch-Irish-Franco-Gerniaii 
Jiii\tiu-<>, heavily charged with Gerinan. The Geriiuui mode of 
spelling the name is Mueller, or Muller. 

The several strains of blood had mixed in the Miller name and 
numerous branches had run into nearly if not every province of Eu- 
rope. Keeping pace with the descendants would be just a little 
smaller undertaking than counting the curiosities thrown ashore by 
the mighty waves of the ocean, and to fathom the depths of the 
penetration of this blood into the strains of the nations would be 
more than the life work of an individual. 

It must suffice that in a very, very limited measure does this vol- 
ume deal somewhat traditionally with the beginning of this Miller 
family in America. 

The unwritten or traditional record is that before the middle of 
the eighteenth century a number of the name (brothers, their wives 
and children and sisters) to secure to themselves liberty and that 
freedom to worship God as the dictates of their own consciences 
longed for, and for the betterment of their conditions in a material 
sense, came from Ireland to America. In the day of their immigra- 
tion there was a great influx of people into the American colonies 
from the old world, and that Robert Miller and his wife and prob- 
ably his children, or the older ones, set forth in Chapter 3, were 
immigrants and that they settled in the Colony of Virginia. Some 
of the immigrants of this family located probably in Pennsylvania 
and more northerly parts. 

Miss Mary B. Miller, of Huntsville, Alabama, a great grand- 
daughter of Colonel John Miller and his wife, Jane Dulaney (set 
forth in Sec. 7 of Chap. :] and Chap. 1 4 ) has in her possession the 
old leather-covered Biljle containing the family record, reaching as 
far back as 1732, which the immigrants aforesaid brought w-ith 



G4 History and Genealogies 



them from Ireland (the exact date of the immigration we are unable 
to state). 

The shades of time and the absence of records have obscured 
many facts and circumstances touching the early history of this 
family. A systematic, thorough search of the early court and other 
records of the old colonies would, it is believed, reveal a great deal 
of history that would be interesting to the present and coming gen- 
erations of this family with the facts presented just as they were. 
That there were immigrations of the name anterior and posterior 
to the above mentioned is not questioned. 

The writer has not the lucrative means to launch into the in- 
vestigation of this interesting question as he would like and must 
be somewhat content with just the little that is in hand. 

The numerous descendants of the immigrants have scattered and 
distributed themselves all over the continent — in the villages, towns 
and cities, on the farms and elsewhere, as farmers, preachers, law- 
yers, physicians, men of letters, men of commerce, stockmen, scien- 
tists, soldiers, politicians, fanatics, etc. Some have gained fame and 
are noted in history. And whilst all, by several rungs, have not 
reached the top of the ladder, but some to the contrary, notwithstand- 
ing, as a whole their record has not been surpassed by any other 
one name in our great nation. 

The Miller name has been well represented in every great pa- 
triotic endeavor of our country — in the early colonial wars, in the 
Revolutionary war, in the war of 1812, in the Mexican war, in the 
various Indian wars, in the great Civil war of 18 62, wherein father 
was arrayed against son and son against father, and brother against 
brother, etc., each contending for the right as he saw it, and in 
which many gave up their lives for the cause they espoused. 

From 1780 to 179 5 there were great streams of people flowing 
as a mighty tide from Virginia and other colonies or states to Ken- 
tucky — the Millers, the Woodes, the Harrises, the Wallaces, the Mau- 
pins, and the Kavanaughs from Virginia, and the Oldhams from the 
Dan and Yadkin Rivers of North Carolina (who had gone thither 
from Fauquier County, Virginia) were in the stream increasing in 
no small measure the tide of immigration into the Dark and Bloody 
Ground, traveling the only highways which had been blazed and 
trodden by the immortalized pioneer. Colonel Daniel Boone, and his 
compatriots, known as Boone's Trace, the Wilderness Road, and 
the Long Hunter's Path, etc. Many of these immigrants located 
in Madison County, and many in other parts of Kentucky. Many 
later on moving further west and some southward. A great many 
of them when they came to Kentucky were men of mature years, 
with families of their own; others finding help-meets after settling 
in their newly adopted home. 

Other facts more especially pertaining to individuals will be 
set forth in the following chapters. 



Histuri/ and Genealogies r,^

ROBERT MILLER, SENIOR 

of Virginia. 

(Mentioned in Cliapter 2.) 

AitHlo 1. — lIolM'it Mill*!', St'iiioi-, of Vii-oinia, so styled because he 
had a son named IJobeit and IxM-ause hv made his permanent 
home in Viij;iiiia. 

Tlie place and date of his birth we are unable to state with cer- 
tainty, but he was probably born in Ireland near the beginning of 
the eighteenth century, and was the father of our branch of the Vir- 
ginia family. He had German blood in his veins, besides other 
strains mentioned in Chapter 2. About the year 1731 he was mar- 
ried to ]\Iiss Ann Lynn. They probably settled in Goochland, Or- 
ange, or Albemarle County, where they reared the family. 

The formation of counties of Virginia, unless one be perfectly 
familiar with the dates of the formations and of the exact locality 
of the home, connected with close study and thought, makes it 
difRcult at this day to state with exactness the county in which was 
located the home of a person one hundred and fifty to seventy-five 
years ago. 

The subject was a man of high standing and fidelity to his coun- 
try, to which he had affirmed allegiance. He gave his children good 
breeding, a good name and fair education — this family has ever 
since been one of integrity and above reproach — and aided a great 
deal not only in the development of Virginia, but in the settlement, 
development and growth of Kentucky and the west and the influ- 
ence of same exercised in the nation. They had three daughters 
and three sons. It is probable that every one of his sons served in 
the war for independence; his son .John was a lieutenant and his 
son Robert was a private in the Virginia line. Their children were: 

Section 1. Elizabeth Miller, born November 1.5, 1732. 

Section 2. Robert Miller, born May 5, 1734. He married about 
the year 1763 to Margaret Maupin, a daughter of Daniel Maupin 
and Margaret Via, his wife, of Albemarle County, Va., (see Part .5, 
Chap. 3, Sec. 10) of whom further history is given in Chapter 4, 
styled Robert Miller, Junior, of Orange, because he established his 
home in Orange County. 

Section 3. Thomas Miller, born March 20, 1736. In the family 
register of the late Colonel Thomas W. Miller, of Stanford Ky., is 
the note that this subject was buried in Kentucky, but the date and 
place of his death and burial are not given. One Thomas Miller, 
in ITS 3, was an attorney at law of the Albemarle Bar, at Char- 
lottesville, Va. 

Section 4. Ann Miller, born November 1.5, 1739. 

Section 5. Margaret Miller, born May 5, 1742. 

Section 6. Colonel .John Miller, born January 1, 17 50. He 
married Jane Dulaney. They immigrated to Kentucky and settled 
in Madison County. Further details are given in Chapter 14.

CHAPTEE 4. 

ROBERT MILLER, JUNIOR 

of Orange. 

(Named in Chapter 3, Section 2.) 

Article 1. — Robert Miller, Junior, of Orange, a son of Robert Miller, 
Senior, of Virginia, and Ann l^ynn, bis wife, was born 'Slay 5, 
1734, jH'obably in Ireland, and oani<' to America, as stated in 
Cliapter 2. 

About the year 1763 he was married to Margaret Maupin, a 
daughter of Daniel Maupin, Senior, and Margaret Via, his wife," 
whose home was in Albemarle County, Virginia, and where the said 
Daniel Maupin died in 17 88 (see Part 5, Chap. 3, Sec. 10). Robert 
Miller acquired lands in Orange County, Virginia, on which he set- 
tled and established his home, and where he died in 1806. After 
his death his widow, Margaret, qualified as administratrix of his 
estate. A copy of the inventory and appraisement of his personal 
estate is presented, to-wit:

Robert Miller in his life time to-wit: On the 25th day of April, 
ISOo, in-epared a deed from himself and his wife, Margaret, to their 
son, Thomas Miller, which he, the said Robert, signed in the pres- 
ence of John Plunkett, William Plunkett, and his son, John Miller, 
which was proven in Court, the 2 7th day of June 1803, however, 
his wife, Margaret, for some reason, did not sign and acknowledge 
the deed. The deed was recorded in Deed Book No. 2 3, page 31, 
Orange Circuit Court. A copy is in hand in these words: 

"This indenture made this 25th day of April, one thousand 
eight hundred and three, between Robert Miller and Margaret, his 
wife, of the County of Orange, of the one part, and Thomas Miller, 
of the County aforesaid, of the other part, witnesseth: That the

A copy from Deed Book No. 23, page 31. 

Attest: C. M. Woolfolk, Clerk. 

Robert Miller enlisted January 11, 1777, as a ])rivate soldier in 
Capt. Nathan Reed's company of 14th Virginia Regiment, command- 



(58 Hisionj and Genealogies 

ed by Col. Charles Lewis, of Albemarle County. Col. Lewis died 
in 1779, whilst commander of the post at Charlottesville. In Dec- 
ember, 1778, this company was designated as Captain Reid's com- 
pany of the 10th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel Wil- 
liam Davies. In May, 177 9, the 1st and the 10th Virginia Regiments 
were consolidated and the Company was called Captain Nathan 
Reid's and Lieutenant-Colonel Hopkins' Company, 10th Virginia 
Regiment, commanded by Colonel William Davies, and sometimes 
referred to as the 1st and 10th Virginia Regiment. 

These facts are confirmed by the records and Pension Office, 
War Department, at Washington, D. C. 

The 1st Virginia Regiment was engaged in the battles of Brandy- 
wine, Germantown, Guilford Court House, Camden, Ninety-Six and 
Eutaw Springs. The 14th Virginia Regiment was in the battles of 
Long Bridge, King's Mountain and Ninety-Six, and the 10th Vir- 
ginia Regiment .n the battles of Guilford Court House, Eutaw 
Springs and Yorktown. 

History shows that Captain Nathan Reed's company experienced 
hard service. 

The canteen and flint lock pistols carried and used by Robert 
Miller, whilst a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, his son, Daniel 
Miller, brought with him when he emigrated from Virginia to Madi- 
son County, Kentucky, and which he safely kept till his death in 
1841. After his death these war relics passed into the hands of 
his youngest son, Christopher Irvine Miller, which he in turn kept 
till iiis death. He used the canteen in his wood-shop as a receptacle 
for oil with which he mixed paints — the oil acting as a preserver of 
the canteen. After the death of C. I. Miller, the canteen went into 
the hands of his son, .James C. Miller, now living on Muddy Creek, 
(postofRce, Moberley, Ky.), where his father lived and died, and he 
yet has the canteen well preserved. The flint-lock pistols and hols- 
ters, it is believed, were turned over to Mrs. Junius B. Park, 
daughter of C. I. Miller, and if same were not destroyed by fire at 
Irvine, Ky., a number of years ago, it is not known where they are. 
It would indeed be gratifying to know that they are intact, and to 
keep and preserve same as relics. 

The oldest child, Daniel Miller, was born May 28, 1764; the 
dates of the birth of the other children are unknown, but their 
births were between the years 176 4 and 17 80. 

Through the years intervening the descendants of Robert Miller 
and Margaret Maupin, his wife, have been distributed over Virginia, 
Kentucky, the West, and elsewhere. Many of them have held 
prominent positions in every walk and calling. His daughters all 
married and raised families, but of them very little data is at hand. 

Their children were: 

Section 1. Daniel Miller, born in the County of Albemarle, 
Colony of Virginia, May 28, 1764. Was nearly grown at the close 
of the Revolutionary War. In Nelson County, Virginia the 2 8th of 
November 1793, he married Susannah Woods. (See Part 2, chap. 
19, section 8.) 

A fuller account is given in chapter 5. 

Section 2. John Miller. It is said that he remained in Virginia, 
married and raised a family. We have not traced his descendants 
or learned his history. 

Section 3. Thomas Miller. Some say that he remained in Vir- 
ginia, married and raised a family. To him his father conveyed his 
land In Orange county April 25, 1803. (Many years ago, these 



ilisloni anrl dm eulogies 09 

brothers, were visited in Virginia by their nephew, Colonel Thomas 
Woods Miller, at that time a resident of Madison county, Ky., 
afterwards a resident of Stanford, Ky., where he died). 

Section 4. Anna Miller married Mr. Neale. 

Section 5. Elizabeth Miller married Mr. Snell. "a" 

Section 6. Sallie -Miller married .lennings Maupin. (See Part

Section 7. Polly Miller married .Mr. Thorne. 

Section 8. Jennie Miller married Mr. Burke. 

Section 9. Susannah Miller married ^Nlr. Begle. 

"a" Mrs. Snell, visited her brother, Daniel Miller in Madison 
county, Ky., after the death of his wife and remained with him 
some time. It is regretted that a fuller account of Daniel Miller's 
brothers and sisters and their descendants is not here given, but we 
have not succeeded in obtaining any further data or knowledge 
of them. 



CHA1?TE1J 5. 

DANIEL MILLER. 

(Named in Section 1, Chap. 4. Part 1). 

Ai'ticle 1. — Daniel Miller, son of Robert .Aliller (Junior) of Orange 
and his wife, >Iargaret Maupin, was bom in the County of 
Albemarle or Orange, Colony of Virginia, May 28, J 764, being 
nearly grown at the close of the Revolutionary War. 

In Nelson County, Virginia the 28th of November, 1793, he was 
married to the daughter of Colonel John Woods and Susannah 
Anderson his wife, namely, Susannah Woods. The said Colonel 
John Woods, being a son of Michael W'oods, senior (afterwards 
called Michael Woods of Blair Park) and his wife, Mary Campbell. 
The said Susannah Anderson being a daughter of Rev. James 
Anderson of Pennsylvania, who was a Presbyterian preacher. 

Daniel ^Miller, April 21, 1779, in Albemarle County, Virginia, was 
one of the signers of a declaration of independence by the citizens 
of said county. 

In the spring of 179.5, about the month of May (we fix this 
date, for his oldest child, Polly, born in 1794, died May 24th, 1795, 
and was buried by the wayside on their journey from Virginia to 
Kentucky), Daniel Miller and his wife and babe, in company with 
his brothers-in-law, Reids, and his wife's sisters, and their families 
and others, left their old home, parents, relatives and friends in Vir- 
ginia, and set out across the wilderness for Kentucky, traveling the 
wilderness road and Boone's trace and reached IMadison County and 
settled on Hickory Lick, a branch of Muddy Creek, where he 
acquired property as follows, as appears from examinations of the 
County Court records, page 223, of Deed Book D., showing that on 
May 3, 179 7, one David Trotter conveyed to him 103 acres of land 
on said creek, and page 3 89 of the same book, showing that on 
^lay 6, 179 8, one Wm. Minix Williams conveyed to him 10 acres 
on the same creek, and page 130 of Deed Book H., showing that on 
March 6, 1798, one Henry Banta conveyed to him 98 acres on the 



70 History and Genealogies 

same creek, and page 2 76 of Deed Book K., showing that on Sep- 
tember 3, 1814, one W. W. Williams conveyed to him 100 acres on 
the same creek, and pages 136 and 149 of Deed Book N. showing 
that on April 15, 1818, the heirs of Foster Jones conveyed to him 
100 acres on the same waters, (said land coming to said heirs from 
their grand-father, Christopher Harris, Senior, deceased) making in 
all 501 acres, acquired there by Daniel Miller. He put valuable 
improvements on same and occupied same as a home for a number of 
years for there is where his youngest child was born. He was, 
however ousted of the possession of the greater portion of the 
Hickory Lick lands by General Green Clay, who seems to have had 
prior claims — as was the case in many instances in those days — the 
matter being in litigation between them for sixteen or seventeen 
long years, from 1810 to 1817, the case going at least twice to the 
Court of Appeals of Kentucky. Finally a small part of said land 
was set apart to Daniel Miller, by way of remuneration for improve- 
ments he had put thereon, to which remnant as appears of record 
Green Clay made to said Daniel Miller a quit claim deed in 1817. 

Daniel Miller, by and by parted with what little remained of his 
Hickory Lick purchases (Hickory Lick being a branch of Muddy 
Creek, and his lands being near the mouth of said branch) and 
bought lands on Drowning Creek only a very few miles distant and 
moved there and died there, the 23d of April, 18 41, at the age of 7 6 
years 10 months and 2 5 days. Here he established a blacksmith 
shop, where tlie work in this line of business was done for a large 
part of the surrounding country. He, also, constructed and put 
in operation a grist mill and made meal and flour for the people 
of the vicinage, and Daniel Miller's mill and shop were noted and 
known for miles and miles. A public road was opened to his mill, 
which is to this day called Daniel Miller's Mill Road, and the records 
show when this road was established, and many subsequent entries 
on the records speak of same and often call for the intersection 
and otherwise of the Daniel Miller Mill Road. 

His home on Drowning Creek, as well as his former home on 
Hickory Lick, were on the direct route from Richmond to the county 
seat of Estill County and other mountain county seats, where the 
noted lawyers of his day practiced law, and Daniel Miller's house 
was their stopping place on their way to and fro. 

He was very often commissioned by the court to take deposi- 
tions, appraise "estates, etc., and in 1799 he, Thomas Collins and 
Samuel Gilbert took the depositions of Joseph Proctor the old 
pioneer, Indian fighter and preacher, and others. 

He must have moved from Hickory Lick to Drowning Creek, in 
about the year 1822, and lived there till his death in 1841 — nine 
years of the time a widower, his wife having died in 183 2, for page 
19 3 of Deed Book P., shows that on June 22, 1822, one Robert 
Tevis conveyed to him 327 acres, one rood and 3 4 poles of land on 
Downing Creek and after his daughter Malinda had married John 
H. Shackelford, to-wit: on September 2 4, 183 5, he bought their 
land on Drowning Creek. See Deed Book V., page 361. 

Upon the Tevis land on Drowning Creek he put valuable and 
permanent improvements — the dwelling and other outhouses he 
built, are standing there yet, in a splendid state of preservation. 

Before his death, to-wit: on the 31st of January, 1835, he con- 
veyed his Drowning Creek lands to his two youngest sons Thomas 
■\N. Miller and Christopher Irvine Miller, reserving forever as a 
burial place for his family the plot of ground where his wife was 



Uisli)i-ij mid (!('ii('iil()<ji('s 71 

interred, and where his remains were afterwards buried. See Deed 
Book Z., i)age 315. 

After this date, 5tli of Xovember, 1836, he conveyed to Elijah 
Vates his loo acres of laud on Muddy Creek (the reniaindei' of his 
Hickory Lick lands) by deed recoi'ded in Deed Book W., page 396. 

Here in the burial plot above named the mortal remains of 
Daniel Miller and his wife were buried, about two hundred yards 
more or less, somewhat northwest of the dwelling house, and 
stones were put to mark their graves with i)roper inscrii)tions. 
Since then the children had the remains removed and re-interred in 
a lot in the Richmond Cemetery where same now rest, with marble 
stones properly inscribed to identify them. 

They raised to be grown and have families of their own four sons 
and three daughters, all highly respected and regarded — as good 
people as the country produces, mention of whom will be made in 
the sections immediately following. 

It is said of Daniel Miller, that his daughter Malinda reputed to 
be very handsome, was his great favorite and married a gentleman 
of splendid breeding and family to whom no reasonable objection 
could have been raised, but he did not wish his daughter to marry 
and leave him, and after she did marry, and when about to say "good 
bye," and leave for distant parts, he remarked to her "good-bye 
Malinda, I now bury you, for I never expect to see you again," and 
it is told that he never after that time saw her. 

Mr. Wm. L. Blanton, as successor to his father, Greenup D. 
Blanton, now owns and lives at the old Drowning Creek home, and 
a few years ago was making some repairs to the house, in the build- 
ing of which nails made by Daniel Miller with his own hands were 
used, and Mr. Blanton secured a few of these old nails and gave 
them to us, which we now hold as souvenirs. 

Daniel Miller was very exact and systematic in all that he did, 
and it is said of him that he, even when taking off his hat, or 
placing it on his head, would take hold of it every time in the 
same place and in the same way, and that he ever wore a stiff high- 
top or bee-gum hat. 

We have in our possesion a buck-horn handle walking stick made 
of hickory wood and in imitation of real cane, which he used for a 
number of years and which has finger and thumb prints worn into 
the handle by being constantly taken hold of in the same way- — said 
to have been worn in it by himself by long and constant use. The 
cane was handed down to ns through his youngest child — our father 
— and we greatly appreciate it. 

He represented Madison County in the General Assembly of 
Kentucky, in the years 1806, 1808 and 1811, and helped make 
many of the laws of the State in that time. 

His first home on Muddy Creek, was near Debans Run near the 
cabin of Duree where in 1782 Peter Duree, John Bullock and hia 
wife, who was the daughter of old man Duree, were massacred by 
the Indians, which event is related by Ambrose Coffee in deposition 
taken in 1799, by Daniel Miller, Thomas Collins and Samuel Gilbert,, 
commissioners of the court. 

He was a commissioned Major of Militia and was addressed as 
Major. 

Many old people who were living just a few years ago and a 
few who are now living knew Daniel Miller well, and all would 
speak in high terms of him, and give him a good name and tell 
many interesting stories in regard to his peculiarities. Have seen 
several who have since left the shores of time who spoke of him 



72 HIsfori/ and Genealogies 

as a teacher, having gone to school to him and they would invariably 
refer to his pains-taking and the peculiarity and regularity of his 
habits. It seems that he was a man of some education for his day 
and was not satisfied without imparting knowledge to the youth of 
the country. 

At the time of his death he had several grand-children grown or 
nearly grown, who, in after years, had vivid recollections of him and 
who often talked of him besides others of an older generation. They 
all gave him reverence. 

Susannah Woods, his wife, was born in Nelson County, Virginia, 
September 21, 17 68 and died on Drowning Creek August 13, 1832, 
in the 64th year of her age. Mention of her death and burial has 
already been made. She was regarded as a fine woman in appear- 
ance as well as in what she did and it is said she was a great 
favorite of her father. Colonel .John Woods of Albemarle. (See 
Part 2 2, Chap. 19, Section 8). 

Their children are named in the coming sections: 

Section 1. Polly Miller a daughter was born in Albemarle 
County, Virginia Octoberl9, 1794, and when her parents were mov- 
ing tlie next spring to Kentucky, she was violently attacked with, 
whooping cough which caused her death May 24, 179.5, age 7 
months and 5 days, and her remains were buried by the wayside 
under a large tree on the route they were traveling.

CHAPTEE T. 
GENERAL JOHN MILLER. 

(Named in Chapter 5, Section 3.) 

Article I. — General John Miller, a son of Daniel >Iiller and Susannah 
Woods, his wife, was bom on Muddy Creek, near the mouth of 
its tributary, Hickory IJck, in :Madison County, Kentucky, 
June ;i(), 1708. 

He was educated in the county schools of his day, receiving, by 
close application and industry, a good common English education, 
,. ^ the best his schools could impart. He 

.■«^-'^;--v became thoroughly conversant with mil- 

itary tactics and military affairs; he was 
a beautiful and swift penman, an ex- 
cellent business man; he was in every 
■^ sense an accomplished gentleman, as gen- 

tle as a dove, as brave as a lion. He 
was one of the most public spirited men 
of Madison County, was foremost in for- 
warding the interest of the community — 
procuring fine schools for the education 
of the boys and girls; he numbered many 
distinguished men among his acquaint- 
ances, notably. Lieutenant General Win- 
field Scott, who showed him marked at- 
tention on a trip East that he made, ac- 
\. companied by his affectionate wife. He 

"" " was prominent in laying the corner stone 

GEN. JOHN MILLER ^f the Henry Clay monument, being one 

of the field marshals and in command of the military contingent

Hist on/ and Genealogies 




from Madison, Estill, Garrard, and Lincoln. His first introduction 
into military life, for which he ever had a fondness, came about in 
this way: During his young manhood, 
whilst living in Richmond, the young 
blood of the town and surrounding coun- 
try organized a volunteer military com- 
pany and uniformed it, which organiza- 
tion was equipped with guns and muni- 
tions of war by the State. John Miller 
was elected captain of the company. In 
the military system of the State all the 
officers were commissioned by the Gover- 
nor; it was always the custom for each 
company to select by vote its own cap- 
tain, and while the Governor was not 
bound by law to respect such selection, 
yet he invariably commissioned the choice 
of the company. After receiving his com- 
mission as captain, John Miller rose by 

regular promotion to major, lieutenant- ELIZABETH i GOCDLOE 
colonel, colonel, brigadier-general, and Wife of Cen. John Miller 

major-general — that is, to the highest rank in the military arrange- 
ment of the State. A major-general's command was that of eight 
regiments; his command then comprised tlie militia of the Counties 
of Madison, Estill, Garrard, and Lincoln. At his death General 
Miller held a commission to raise a Brigade of Federal troops to 
be composed of four regiments — that is, he was authorized by the 
Federal Government to recruit such a Brigade, of which he would 
be given the command, to fight for the preservation of the Union, 
but his death ended his endeavors in this direction. 

The battle of Richmond, Kentucky, was fought August 3 0, IS 62, 
between the Federal and Confederate forces, in which engagement 
the Federals were utterly routed. General Miller took an active 
rart in this battle — he went into the battle as aid to General Schaoff, 
(August 30, 1862) and whilst trying to rally a disordered column 
n-^ar Mount Zion Meeting House, on the Big Hill Road, fell mortally 
wounded; he was removed to the residence of Mr. Thomas Palmer 
near by, where he breathed his last September 6, 18 62. His remains 
were buried in the Richmond Cemetery, the inscriptions on the 
monument, towit: 

"Gen'l John Miller, 

Born June 3 0, 1798. 

Mortally wounded Aug. 30, 18 62, 

while gallantly rallying a disordered column of soldiers 

bearing the banner of the Union. 

Died Sept. 6, 1862. 

"Brave, generous and affectionate, he commanded the 
admiration of the virtuous when living; and in death their 
unfeigned regret." 



By the side of his tomb is that of his wife on which is inscribed: 

"Elizabeth J. 

wife of 

Gen'l John Miller. 

Daughter of Wm. and Susannah Goodloe. 

Born November 23, 1809. Died October 31, 1876." 

"Her children rise up and call her blessed."

will perpetuate the memory of General .Miller, his gallantry, his pat- 
I'iotism, and the note of that event, and of his good wife so long as 
the monument stands. 

A letter from the Treasury Department, Washington City, bear- 
ing date September 2, 1862, signed by the Commissioner of Internal 
Revenue was forwarded to General .John JNIiller, Richmond, Ky., 
notifying him of his appointment by the President of the United 
States as Collector of Internal Revenus, under the act of Congress, 
approved July 1, 1862, entitled "An act to i)rovide Internal Revenue 
to support the Government, and to pay interest on the public debt," 
for the 2nd Collection district of the State of Kentucky, comprising 
the Counties of Boyle, Cumberland, Clinton, Adair, Casey, Taylor, 
Green, Russell, Pulaski, Wayne, Lincoln, Madison, Garrard, Rock- 
castle, Laurel, Wnitley, Knox, Harlan, Letcher, Pike, Floyd, .Johnson, 
Perry, Owsley, Estill, Clay, Breathitt, Wolfe, Magoffin, and .Jack- 
son, and Wm. M. Spencer, Esq., of Greensburg, was appointed 
assessor for the same district. 

Mr. Miller's commission as collector with a bond in the penal 
sum of $50,000, was the same day forwarded to Hon. Bland Ballard, 
Judge, U. S. District Court, Louisville, for execution by General 
Miller, who was directed to divide his district into such divisions as 
he might deem expedient, designate them by numbers and appoint 
Deputy Collectors, in each for whose official conduct he would be 
held responsible, etc., but four days after the date of this letter and 
commission. General Miller died. 

In his young manhood, he acquired considerable reputation as 
a military officer and disciplinarian, and at almost all the military 
displays in his section, he was placed in command. 

In 1840, the great celebration of the Settlement of Kentucky, 
was held at Boonsborough with a Military Encampment consisting 
of all the Volunteer and Amateur Military Companies of the State 
in attendance for a week or more. It was a state occasion and celebra- 
tion and attended by large crowds, besides the military array and 
display. General Miller was made commandant of the encampment, 
considered quite a distinction, as there was much discussion as to 
who would be the proper man to conduct it. General Leslie Combs 
was one of his sub-altern officers. In his day an annual board of 
visitors, consisting of seven persons appointed by the President of 
the United States, two Senators by the President of the Senate, and 
three Representatives by the Speaker of the House, attended the 
annual examinations of the United States Military Academy at West 
Point and made annual report on the condition of the academy. 
General William Henry Harrison died within about one month after 
his inauguration the 4th of March, 1841, as President-elect of the 
United States, which event placed the Vice President, Mr. Tyler, 
in the high office of President. During this term General Miller 
was selected by the President as one of the seven distinguished 
,gentlemen to attend in 1841 the annual examination of the acad- 
emy. Colonel John Speed Smith, who up to the time of General 
Harrison's candidacy for the Presidency had been a Democrat, be- 
came an ardent supporter of General Harrison: he had been one of 
General Harrison's aids-de-camp during the Indian wars and was 
a warm personal as well as political friend of General Harrison, and 
Colonel Smith greatly interested himself in procuring the appoint- 
ment for General Miller. 

Mr. Owsley was elected Governor of the State of Kentucky in 
1844; during his administration the trial and execution at Man- 



78 Historj/ nncl Genealogies 

Chester, Clay County, Ky., of Dr. Abner Baker for the murder of 
his brother-in-law, Daniel Bates, occurred. There was very great 
excitement not only in Clay County, but also in the counties of Mad- 
ison and Garrard, in which each of the parties had many relatives 
and friends; very strenuous efforts were made by the friends of Dr. 
Baker to have him pardoned, which efforts wei-e as strenuously re- 
sisted by the friends of Mr. White; the Governor, however, declined 
to intercede. Fearing an effort at rescue, upon petition, the Gov- 
ernor, to prevent rescue and preserve the peace and dignity of the 
State, called out the militia of Madison County and placed General 
Miller in command thereof; and he marshalled his forces and they 
marched to the scene of the apprehended trouble; it was considered 
a very responsible and difficult position. He and his men were on 
duty several weeks at Manchester, remaining till after the execution. 

General Miller was a prominent merchant of Richmond, Ky., 
from his early manhood until a very short time before his end. In 
his mercantile life he made many horseback trips from his native 
town to Baltimore, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities for mer- 
chandise. On one of these Eastern trips, in 183 5, he arrived from 
Baltimore in Philadelphia on the evening of March 13, 1S3 5, and 
stopped at the United States Hotel. A letter in his own hand, writ- 
ten by him at 10 o'clock p. m. the next day, at said hotel, to his 
wife Elizabeth, begins in this way; "Having an opportunity 
by the Hon. Davy Crockett, I drop you a line." Col. Crock- 
ett, the Representative from Tennessee, was figuring upon a large 
scale in the East, receiving great ovations of immense crowds and 
the night this letter was written General Miller attended the the- 
ater on Arch Street to witness a reception given Colonel Crockett, 
who when he (Crockett) took his seat in the box was cheered for 
several minutes heavily. "Go ahead," etc., etc., rang from side to 
side by an immense crowd, which General Miller writes was much 
the largest he had ever seen in the city, and he had the pleasure of 
an introduction to Colonel Crockett by Representative Mr. Low. 

On more than one occasion General Miller visited his kins- 
people in Virginia, making the trip on horseback. 

He owned and occui)ied as his home, till just before his death, 
the handsome and desirable property on Lancaster Avenue, now 
owned and occupied by William W. Watts, Esquire; on the site of 
the old mansion Mr. Watts has erected a large palatial residence. 

General John Miller, on the 23d day of April, 1830, was married, 
near Richmond, Ky., to Elizabeth Jones Goodloe. She was born 
November 23, 1809, and died October 31, 187 6. (See obituary.) 
She was a daughter of William Goodloe and Susannah Woods, his 
wife. (See Part 2, Chap. 11.) Mrs. Miller was a most excellent 
Christian woman, wife and mother. 

Obituary — Miller. (Died) At the residence of Gen. David S. 
Goodloe, in Lexington, on Tuesday, October 3, 1876, Mrs. Elizabeth 
J. Miller, aged 67 years, having been born November 23, 1809. 
This excellent lady was a daughter of William Goodloe, Sr., and a 
native of Madison County. In early womanhood she was married 
to Gen. John Miller, and thereafter lived in the town of Richmond 
until her husband's death, who, it will be remembered, lost his life 
in the ranks of the Union army in the battle near this place, August 
3 0, 18 62. Mrs. Miller subsequently removed to Paris, Ky., and con- 
tinued to reside there until her death. Her acquaintance and rela- 
tionship were wide and general throughout many of the counties of 
Central Kentucky and in other States, and it can be said with no 



l/islnn/ tiiiil (lriic(ilu(/i('s 79 

exaggeration, but with perfect tnilli. llial wherever and by whom- 
soever known she commanded the most attectionate and heartfelt 
love and resi)ect. Her virtues and personal character and intelli- 
gence were of the highest order. She was a prudent, generous and 
affectionate wife, mother, sister and friend. Her life was of 
chequered experience. She had known affluence and poverty, joy 
and many sorrows. Death, in varied and the severest terms, had 
again, again and again knocked at the portal of her house, and had 
borne away from her — parents, brothers, sisters, husband and chil- 
dren: but with unshrinking fortitude she bowed submissively to 
these trials and bereavements and prayed for strength to watch over 
and nurture the orphans thrown upon her care, thus roiinding off 
beautifully her life and supplanting soi-row by duty. Her final de- 
])arture from earth was very sudden and was a crushing blow to 
her family. Down to the very morning of her death she seemed in 
robust and perfect health, and was enjoying the society of relatives 
in Fayette prei)aratory to a visit to the home of her childhood, youth 
and maturer years. But, alas! that visit was never to be paid; but 
on the day following her remains were borne hither in pall and 
shroud, and in the presence of sorrowing kindred and friends were 
consigned to that narrow house appointed for all the living. But 
they who knew and loved her do not doubt that, life's Christian 
duties all discharged, she has met the reward of eternal rest prom- 
ised to the saints of God through the merits and sacrifices of the 
Redeemer, who had been her trust and stay. Mrs. Miller was a 
woman of rare dignity of character, of noble presence, intellectual 
and cultured; her sympathies were broad, she practiced the truest 
benevolence, a good friend, loyal wife and devoted mother. She 
finished her education at one of the best boarding schools of the 
day at Lexington. She was always fond of her husband's brothers 
and a good friend to them — appreciated them at their full worth. 
The half has not been told of her goodness and worth. 

The children of General .John Miller and Elizabeth .1. Goodloe, 
his wife: 

Section 1. Susannah Woods Miller, born at Richmond, Ky., 
February 13, 1831. She married. May 2.5, 1S.51, her cousin. Dr. 
Michael Woods Barclay, of Lexington, Vii'^ginia. (See Part 2, Chap. 
28, Sec. 2.) She died at Paris, Ky., March 3 0, 187 7. She was a 
lovely character, a charming Christian. The marriage occurred in 
Richmond, Ky. Dr. Barclay died October 2 3, 1858, as set forth in 
the obituary notice, towit: 

(Died) "In this place, on Saturday. October 23, 1858, at eleven 
p. m., at the residence of Gen. .John Miller, Dr. M. W. Barclay, of 
Dulmonary consumption. The subject of this notice was born in 
Lexington, Rockbridge County, Va., December 2, 1824; graduated 
at Washington College, Va., in 1844: received the degree of Medi- 
cine from Jefferson College. Philadeli)hia, in 1847; removed to Ken- 
tucky in 1849; was married in 1851; i)racticed medicine in Bour- 
bon County until 1854, when he removed to St. Francis County. 
Ark., and there, after enjoying a lucrative practice of his profes- 
sion until 185 7, he was attacked with consumption, which termi- 
nated in his decease at the age of thirty-three years, nine months 
and twenty-one days. It rarely becomes necessary to chronicle the 
death of so interesting a character as the one under notice. En- 
dowed by nature with superior intellect, the life which under all 
circumstances would have been marked with interest, was especial- 
ly so with the super-added advantages of a refined and scholastic 



80 Historij (ind Genealogies 

education. Who can but lament that one so gifted should have 
been cut down in the meridian of manhood; that the tree which 
promised so abundant a harvest of usefulness should in a few mo- 
ments lie low with earth?. Nevertheless, 'being dead, he yet speak- 
eth,' and they who survive as mourners remember the whispers of 
that faith which bade them prepare to meet him in the skies. They 
remember the fruits of that religion which taking its abode in his 
soul in 18 5.5, in a distant State, was his 'firm foundation' during 
the panigs of dissolution. As husband, brother, son and friend his 
life was worthy of emulation, but as a Christian — being a devoted 
member of the Methodist Church — survivors contemplate his char- 
acter with the greatest delight. Truly 'the righteous hath hope in 
his death,' for while his faith pointed to a heart purified from sin, 
to a love which only the ransomed know, and to a victory over the 
world complete and triumphant, that hope still sheds its fragrance 
over the grave, warning all of his glorious resurrection and their 
mortality. May God sanctify to the afflicted their deepest distress 
and distill within them the dew of heaven for solace now, and for 
glory hereafter. 

"Life's duty done, as sinks the clay. 
Light from its load the spirit flies; 
While heaven and earth combine to say, 
How blest the righteous when he dies." 

Their children were: 

1. Hugh Barclav, born October 17, 1852, at Clintonville, Bour- 
bon County, Ky.; died March 3 0, 18 55, in St. Francis County, 
Arkansas. 

2. Bettie M. Barclay, born in Richmond, Ky., September 30, 
1854; died June 20, 1876, at Paris, Ky. 

1. Mary M. Barclay, was born at Glenann, St. Francis County, 
Ark., March 4, 1857; died March 13, 1877. 

Obituarv — Barclay. Died in this city, Mar. 13, 1877, at the res- 
idence of her grandmother, the late Mrs. Elizabeth J. Miller, Miss 
Mary M. Barclay, of consumption. Again death has entered a 
stricken household. Less than a year ago the deceased was ap- 
parentlv in the enjoyment of health, but the places that knew 
her shall know her no more. Stealthily disease laid its hand 
upon her, preparing the way for the approach of death. But 
her kindred who knew her best do not doubt that death was 
made the occasion to her of a happy exchange and great gain. 
Four years ago, upon professing faith in Christ as the Savior 
of sinners, she was received into the Baptist Church of this city; 
as thev believe, persevered in the faith with childlike confidence 
in Jesus' power to save unto the end. After the development of 
her disease she seems to have been resigned to it without com- 
plaint. A short time before her departure she sang these words 
of a favorite song; "I am waiting, worn and weary," etc. 
Her purity of character, gentle manners and kindness of heart 
have left her memory embalmed in the hearts of many who sigh 
and shed tears over her early death. In mercy to her, we trust 
God has granted her exemption from the trials of life and rests 
with loved ones who have preceded her in the home of the justi- 
fied. No feeling person can regard the removal of this lovely 
girl from earth to the realm of spirits without awful contempla- 
tion of the mysteriousness of the divine appointment, or without 
sympathy for a mourning household, especially for an afflicted 



Jli.slori/ and (icncdioi/ics SI 

mother, who, herself on a bed of sickness, without parenis, with- 
out husband, and childless, is left to mourn the wreck of departed 
hopes. May the God of Jacob be found her refuge and strength.

Section 2. Sarah Clinton Miller, born in Richmond, Ky., Aug. 
10, 1832; she married her cousin, David Goodloe, of Tuscumbia, 
Alabama, December 29, 1852. She died in St. Francis County, Ar- 
kansas, September 6, 1857. Their children were: 

1. William M. Goodloe, married Mary Stephens, of Marietta, O. 

2. Margaret C. Goodloe, of Paris, Ky.

Mar. 2 8, 1834; married Rev. Edmund H. Burnam, a minister of the 
Regular Baptist Church; a number of years editor of the Regular 
Baptist Magazine, i)ublished at Mexico, Mo. For a long period served 
the church in Richmond, Ky., administering ordinances and preach- 
ing. He is a highly educated gentleman, a son of Thompson Bur- 
nam, a staunch Primitive Baptist in his day. Mrs. Burnam died

1. Prof. .John Miller Burnam (Ph. D.), now filling the chair 
of Latin in the Cincinnati University, was born at Irvine, Ky., 
April 9, 1864. In 1869 he came with his parents to Boone Coun- 
ty, Mo., where he remained until 187 6, when his family returned 
to Richmond, Ky. From .January, 1877, to June, 1878, he was 
a student at Central University, Richmond, Ky. In the fall of 
1878 he entered Smith Academy, St. Louis, Mo., and the next 
year became a member of the Freshman class of Washington Uni- 
versity. In September, 1880, Dr. Burnam matriculated at Yale 
University, New Haven, Conn. His career at that institution was 
most brilliant. He won the Hulbunt Scholarship in May, 1881, 
and the Berkeley Premium in Latin Composition the same year. 
In June, 1884, he received his A. B. degree and the Larned 
Scholarship ($3 00 per year). For two years after graduation he 
pursued his studies at Yale as a graduate student in Sanskrit 
(under the celebrated Whiting) Latin and (chiefly) Romance 
languages, and was made a Doctor of Philosophy in 1886. Dur- 
ing the next three years Dr. Burnam continued his researches 
abroad, studying in France, Germany and Spain. Since his home 
coming he has pursued his special studies in Latin and Roman 
Palaeography with great zeal and has prepared a series of orig- 
inal articles on Statues and Prudontius which appear as a part 
of the American School at Rome, in the American Journal of 
Archaeology. His collection of manuscripts is one of the best 
in the United States, perhaps the best, and most comprehensive 
owned by a private individual in this country, in spite of the fact 
that the greater portion of his library was destroyed by the burn- 
ing of the old university building in 1892. He was elected to 
membership in the American Philological Association in June, 
1899.

Section 6. Elizabeth Goodloe Miller, born in Richmond, Ky., 
May 9, 1838; married William M. Hinton, at Paris, Ky., April 7, 
1868. Mr. Hinton is a leading substantial citizen of Bourbon Coun- 
ty. Their children: 

1. William M. Hinton, born July 1, 1872, in Paris, Ky. 

2. C. Oakford Hinton, born August 19, 187 4, in Paris, Ky. 

3. Bertha G. Hinton, born July 4, 187 6, in Paris, Ky. 

4. Robert T. Hinton, born July 11, 1878, in Paris, Ky. 

Section 7. Mary M. Miller, born March 18, 1840, in Richmond, 
Ky. She married Charles Stephens, at Paris, Ky., October 22, 1867. 
Mr. Stephens was born in Paris, Ky., December 21, 1840. He is 
a successful merchant and leading citizen of that place. Their 
children are: 

1. Dr. William Barclay Stephens, born in Paris, Ky., Januai-y 
4, 1869; graduated from Georgetown College in the class of 1890, 
with A. M. degree. In the fall of the same year he entered the 
College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Department of Co- 
lumbia College, in the city of New York. After the required three 
years' preparation, practicing during the time in the Roosevelt 
Hospital and Vanderbilt Clinic, he received his diploma. Also 
one from Vanderbilt Clinic for the special course of the treatment 
of the eye. Immediately upon graduation he located in San Fran- 
cisco as specialist for the eye, ear and throat, where he is en- 
gaged in a large and extensive practice. He resides across the 
bay in the city of Alameda, where he also has otRce. He ranks 
amongst the first as specialist and authority. His office was de- 
stroyed by fire after the earthquake. He was appointed official 
bacterialogist by the Board of Health. The Alameda (California) 
Argus prints the following in the August 5 issue concerning Dr. 
W. Barclay Stephens, son of Mr. Charles Stephens, of Paris: 

"Dr. W. B. Stephens was given a surprise last evening when 
he appeared to attend the meeting of the Board of Health, of 
which he is a member. It was the first session the Doctor has 
attended since his illness. He has become a Benedict since his 
recovery, and the fact was duly noted by the members of the 
board and the employees of the Health Department. As a mark 
of the high esteem in which the Doctor is held by them they pre- 
sented him with an elegant cut glass set. The presentation was 
made, on behalf of the board and the Health Department em- 
ployees, by Dr. W. O. Smith, who spoke of the friendly relations 
that existed between the Doctor and his co-workers, of his valu- 
able service to the city, and of the great interest he took in the 
affairs of the Health Board. Congratulations were also extended 
as a result of the Doctor's wedding. Dr. Stephens was taken com- 
pletely by surprise and could hardly find words to express his 
deep sense of appreciation for the kindly sentiments of those with 
whom he has been associated for so long. He was married Wed- 
nesday, June 24, 1903, to Louise Bruce, at the home of the bride's 
father. Captain James H. Bruce, No. 1262 Jackson Street, San 
Francisco, by the Rev. Guthrie, of San Francisco. There were no 
attendants and the ceremony was witnessed only by a few rela- 
tives and immediate friends of the couple." 

William Barclay Stephens, in his youth was a perfect genius; 
in his maturer years, turned his genius to the human body and 
is now one of the noted surgeons for the operation on the head 
and about the brain; he is well known in the medical world. 
They have one child:

1. Bruce Miller Stephens, born August 5, 1904. 

2. Dr. Charles .Joy Stephens, born in Paris, Ky., January 4, 
1S69; graduated from Georgetown College in the class of 1895 
with A. M. degree. He joined his brother in California in August 
of same year, entered the College of Dentistry of the University 
of California, where, after the required term of study (three 
years), he took his diploma and began practice of his profession 
in San Francisco. He was very successful until the earthquake 
occurred in April, 1906, when his handsome office with all the 
modern appliances was destroyed by fire, which followed the 
earthquake. He at present is practicing in Paris, Ky., but expects 
to return and resume practice in San Francisco. 

3. Elizabeth Goodloe Stephens, born in Paris, Kv., September 
12, 1875. 

4. John Miller Stephens, born in Paris, Ky., July 6, 1S79. 

Section 8. John Barclay Miller, born in Richmond, Ky., July 
7, 1843: married Llewellyn B. Holloday, December 20, 1882, at 
Paris, Ky. 

Section 9. Lucy Anne Miller, born in Richmond, Ky., in 1845; 
now residing in Paris, Ky.; unmarried. 

Section 10. Octavia G. Miller, born in Richmond, Kv., April 
14, 1847: died of cholera in 1849. 

All the daughters of General John Miller were handsome, stylish, 
well educated, accomplished women; their superiors are not in this 
country. General Miller and his wife educated their children in the 
best schools and gave them proper training and entered them in the 
best society, and they grew up to be women of graceful and beauti- 
ful manners; they respected all entitled to respect and were re- 
spected by every one who came in contact with them. Through the 
trials and vicissitudes of life each has kept her fair name. Two of 
the married daughters, Mrs. Hinton and Mrs. Stephens, of Paris, 
Ky., and the single daughter Miss Lucy, with their brother, John B., 
survive, and all reside in the same city, Paris, Ky. As their days 
have demanded so has their strength been. The good times John 
had with the family of his uncle Irvine in his young days, when 
he and Ed. Shackelford and often Marion Green, and sometimes 
others, would come out from Richmond in the fall of the year in 
the quailing season and spend times hunting the girds, are well re- 
membered. Uncle Irvine and Aunt Talitha's home was to them a 
great place of enjoyment, where they had perfect freedom in the 
field of sport and pleasure.

CHAPTER 8. 
MAJOR JAMES MILLER. 

(Named in Section 4, Chapter 5, Part 1.) 

Article 1. — Major James Miller, a son of Daniel Miller and Snsannah 
Woods, his wife, was born in Madison Connty, Keutneky, Au- 
gust 3, 1800.

Harris, 



f 




MAJOR JAMES MILLER 



was married in said county July 24, 1823, to Frances M. 
a daughter of John Harris and Margaret Maupin, his wife. 

(See Part 3, Chap. 41.) She was born 
March 2 6, 1802, and died December 17, 
1880. About the year 1826 or 18 27 he 
moved his family to Lincoln County, Ky., 
and bought a farm near Milledgeville, 
and lived there a few years; sold his 
farm, bought another on Dick's River, 
about five miles from Stanford, to which 
he moved and there made his permanent 
home and engaged in farming and stock 
raising until his death, which occurred 
May 2, 18 69. The remains of both were 
interred in the Richmond Cemetery. Maj. 
James Miller was, under the old regime, 
a Major of Militia. He was a solid, good 
man, honest, kind, generous, and brave: 
he had a fair common English education 
and was a good scribe. At his home ele- 
gant entertainments were given. Al- 
though he held no office other than that 
mentioned, he possessed the qualifications of a statesman, and was 
well versed in the affairs of government. Many distinguished per- 
sons were guests at his home. His wife was a noble Christian 
woman and saint of God, endowed with a strong mind, well bal- 
anced, kind, affectionate, true, loyal and devoted wife and mother, 
with many friends. Both were highly esteemed by their neighbors, 
acquaintances and relatives and all spoke in the highest terms and 
most reverently of Major Miller and his wife. Their children were: 
Section 1. Christopher Miller, a son, born in Madison County; 
died in his youth (Nov. 25, 18 24 — Aug. 18, 1829). 

Section 2. Daniel Miller, a son, born in Madison County, Sept. 
10, 1826; was never married; died a bachelor, having prior to his 
death, upon a profession of faith in the Savior, united with the old 
Baptist Church. He served many years in the capacities of Deputy 
Sheriff and Constable of his county. 

Section 3. Margaret Susan Miller, a daughter, born in Lincoln 
County, Oct. 4, 1828; married Dr. William Pettus, May 17, 1859. 
She survived her husband many years and died. The remains of 
both lie in the cemetery at Danville. Their only son: 

1. James Miller Pettus, born June 28, 1860; married a kins- 
woman, Miss Jennie Pettus, of Lincoln County, and purchased a 
farm near Stanford, on which he now lives.

Section 4. IMaliiuhi Miller, a daughter, born July 26, 1830; 
married Mr. .John Huilcr, Xov. 17, IMJS, with whom she lived a 
number of years and he died, after which she became the wife of 
Leo Hayden, a prominent citizen of Lincoln County, Feb. 9, 1S75, 
whom she also survived. She ventured for the third time into the 
holv state of matrimony by joining her fortunes with .Tohn T. Stone, 
of Edgerton, Missouri, May 22, 1879, in which Stale they now 
live at Edgerton, Platte County, Missouri. Since the above was 
written IMr. Stone has died, and Mrs. Stone now lives at Stanford, 
Kentucky. 

Section 5. John Harris Miller, born in TJncoln County, Ky., 
Feb. 27, 1832. He married a widow, Mrs. Angeline Brown Harris, 
widow of Charles Lee Harris, Feb. 9. 1875. She was born Oct. 9, 
1832: died Sept. 8, 1881. (See Part VHI, Chap. 14, Sec. 8, and Part 
Ul, Chap. 4.) She died without issue, the subject surviving; after 
which he was married to Miss Sallie Phillips, of Stanford, which 
proved to be an unhappy union and a separation took place. 

Under the second administration of Grover Cleveland, Presi- 
dent of the United States, John H. Miller was appointed Consul to 
Falkland Islands, off the extreme southern east coast of South 
America, in the Atlantic Ocean, whence he went and spent four years 
of his life. He returned home by way of London, England, and 
other noted places, having a long and very interesting voyage, and 
was received at his Lincoln County home with open hands and kind- 
soft hearts by the people, who met him at the depot in throngs, with 
the brass band and drum, which was too much for him and complete- 
ly overcame him and filled him too full for utterance when called 
lipon for an account of himself; his actions spoke louder than his 
words. 

He enlisted as a soldier in the Civil War of 1862, and espoused 
the cause of the South and entered the army's active service, two 
of his brothers being enlisted in the same cause. 

He was a humorous and sjiicy writer under "Happy Jack," his 
nom de plume. His productions were much complimented and were 
very amusing to the reader. A sample is here offered, not, how- 
ever, of his humorous: 

"Gen. Wolford.

vived 'The Lost Cause' had been denied citizenship. Xo day during 
the war was so sad, so dark as that day. Gen. Wolford, without 
solicitation or delay, came to our defense. Others who were con- 
sidered great, not great like Wolford, Kentucky has never had but 
one Wolford, he was as good a man as Gov. Blackburn and greater 
than Blackburn — cringed, trembled and faltered. Not so then, never 
so with Wolford. Braver than all men, more generous, if possible, 
than brave, he came quickly but quietly to our rescue. Opposition 
vanished like trash before the wind. There stood the old man in 
his noble bearing, almost alone, brave and dauntless, but cool and 
collected, not defiant, not dismayed, not disheartened. His rugged 
and benevolent face and brilliant eye fairly beamed and twinkled.

with smiles and love as he extended us his open hand of sincere 
friendsliip as a free-will offering. The eye of Kentucky turned in 
astonished gaze upon Wolford. These were times of peril, but Wol- 
ford was not afraid; he had Truth, Goodness, Love, and Duty as 
his bodyguard. His great, big heart, that it was impossible to en- 
large, imparted much of its goodness to every contracted nature 
that dared listen to his charming theme. Hear him: 

"The war is ended, my countrymen. We are all glad, too glad 
for resentment. This is not the day for Kentucky to bolt her doors 
against any class of her manhood. Her doors must be unbolted and 
thrown wide open to all alike. The Southern soldier has fought 
his last battle. He has surrendered: we have brought him home 
with us, not as a prisoner. Heaven forbid. We shake our heads 
at the thought. Kentucky cannot afford, will not dare, hold as 
prisoners or aliens this brave band of her own sons who dared bare 
their breasts to battle's storm for their honest conviction. Ken- 
tucky needs such men to-day. They have stood for four years, true 
as steel against those hundreds of thousands of native patriots who 
rushed to the front so promptly, as well as against all those whom 
our money could hire from abroad. These are the men we have 
brought home, but not as prisoners, not as aliens. They must put 
on the whole armor of citizenship." 

Such was his plea for us. Thank God for Wolford. No wonder 
our dear old mothers, dead and gone long ago, sung "Home Again" 
so sweetly. 

When convinced of his right, he never hesitated, but did it on 
the instant. He never weighed consequences, nor looked about for 
friends. "How many men like Wolford have you in Kentucky?" 
asked the great Lincoln of Senator Garret Davis when Wolford was 
carried to Washington under arrest. "He is the only one, Mr. 
President; you can shoot him every morning for his convictions, 
but he will never surrender one." Mr. Lincoln knew Wolford was 
a man; he was a man himself, never surrendering a conviction; 
this taught Wolford to highly regard sincere conviction of others. 
Daring to do all he thought right, he never counted cost or thought 
of reward. He was a jewel above price. This simple child of na- 
ture, so profusely endowed with the best and richest gift that 
heaven has yet bestowed on mair — a love for his fellows that casts 
out all fear, is gone. 

Col. T. P. Hill, of Stanford, Ky., proposes that the Confederates 
erect a monument to his memory. 

We must not insult or wound the feeling of his "Old Regiment." 
Wolford's men never would bear crowding on, none of us can forget 
that, but with their permission to render this heart offering to our 
"best friend" in our darkest day, we can give Col. Hill substantial 
assurance that we cannot forget that ready, willing, able hand that 
rescued us in the day of our calamity. We have lost our bravest and 
most generous foe in war, our best friend in peace. "We shall not 
look upon his like again.' Allow me to suggest the inscription for 
the monument.

The foregoing is not one of his humorous pieces, and is not 
signed in his nom de plume, "Happy Jack," under which name he 
usually wrote; but we think it good and therefore have presented 
same here. 

The subject was not blessed with issue of either marriage. He 
died in Lincoln County, Ky., about two years ago, at the age of 
about 70 years. He was an amusing conversationalist and known 
for his honesty and strong affection for his friends, whom he never 
for a moment forgot.

to Kansas some thirty years ago. Later they moved to Tishomingo, 
Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, where he died, April 16, 1905. 
Carrying out his request before his death, his body was expressed 
to Richmond, Ky., and laid in the grave by the side of that of his 
first wife, Gertrude, in the cemetery at that place. After his death 
Mrs. Miller moved to Ardmore, Indian Territory, in the Chickasaw 
Nation, where she now lives. Issue of the first marriage:

88 Ilistori/ (1)1(1 CiritcdJogips 

lived many years, where children were born to them. Some years 
since they moved to the State of Texas, and now (1905) live in the 
city of Ft. Worth; both old and infirm, Mr. Portwood being 84 
years old, his wife many years younger. We visited them at Ft. 
Worth in 1904. Mr. Portwood died in 1906. Their children:

Harris; was educated in the common schools of the county and at 
Centre College, Danville, Ky. Before completing the course at col- 
lege he abandoned his studies to champion the cause of the South- 
ern Confederacy, and in 1862 enlisted in Company B, 6th Ky. Cav., 
the fortunes of which command he shared until captured at Chishire, 
Ohio, in 1863. In the following year he made his escape from the 
Federal prison at Chicago (Camp Douglas), Illinois, and rejoined 
General Morgan in Virginia, remaining until the fatal day that 
ended General Morgan's life at Greenville, Tennessee, at 
which time and place Mr. Miller was present and received 
a severe wound. He was discharged in 1865, and soon 
after returned to his Lincoln County home, and having 
decided upon the profession of law, entered the office of Squire 
Turner, of Richmond, Ky., under whom he did his preparatory read- 
ing. Was admitted to the bar in 1866, and located at Stanford for 
the practice of his profession. In 1868 was elected Clerk of the 
Lincoln Circuit Court, and during his encumtaency edited, in con- 
nection with M. C. Saufley, the Central Dispatch. In 1873 was ap- 
pointed Assistant Clerk of the House of Representatives. In 1874 
was defeated for the office of Circuit Court Clerk. In politics he 
was a Democrat, and in 187 6 was Presidential Elector for the 
Eighth Congressional District of Kentucky. In 1878 was elected 
County Attorney of Lincoln County, and served his constituents as 
such. He was the delegate from Lincoln County to the convention 
that framed the present Constitution of the State of Kentucky. 
In 1879 he was married to Miss Katherine Portman, daughter of 
M. C. Portman, of Stanford, Ky., Dec. 9, 1879. His wife was born 
Sept. 2, 1853. They were blessed with one child, a daughter, 
(1) Malinda Catherine Miller, born April 22, 1882. Wm. H. Miller 
died in Lincoln County, his wife and daughter surviving; now 
(1905) living at Stanford. 

We here relate a coincidence; 

This subject and the writer both bore the same name exactly, 
"William Harris Miller," the former a citizen of Lincoln, the latter 
of Madison County, sons of brothers, and the former's mother an 
aunt of the latter's mother, and both were great personal friends. 
During the space 1880-1893 the latter was Clerk of the Madison 
Circuit Court and had a close friend in the office as assistant (Col. 
R. X. White) ; one day he went to the postoffice and received a card 



lli^iurt/ ami (Iciicalixjii's 89 

from the blank book luanufact iiring establishnieni of John P. Morton 
& Co., Louisville, directed to W. H. Miller, Richmond, Ky., in sub- 
stance: "Please acknowledge the receipt of 100 abstracts of tiilr 
we sent you at Stanford, Ky." 

On reluming to the clerk's office the latter showed the card lo 
his deputy, Col. White, and told him he had made no such order 
and would answer the card in a way that ii\ the future there would 
be no such confusion and mixture of the mail matter, and did im- 
mediately answer thus: "Sirs: — Your card in regard to the ab- 
stracts of title received. I ordered none and received none. I have 
a cousin residing at Stanford, Ky. His name is W. H. Miller: my 
name is W. H. Miller. His father was a Miller; my father was a 
Miller. His mother was a Harris; my mother was a Harris. His 
wife is named Kate; my wife is named Kate. He used to be Circuit 
Court Clerk; I am now Circuit Court Clerk, and about the only 
difference between us is, he is a lawyer, and I am not; he is older 
and has more sense than T." 

The reply was shown to Col. White, to whom we stated we 
could say further, if necessary: He had an Uncle Bob, I had an 
Uncle Bob; he had an Uncle John, so did I; he had an Uncle Tom, 
so did I; he had Aunts Susan, Malinda, and Margaret, so did I, and 
the Colonel, with an interjection, said: "It will be published in 
every paper of the State." It was pretty extensively published. The 
book concern never after got our orders mixed. 

We have received letters from our cousin addressed to W. H. 
Miller and signed with the same name, as though one was writing 
to himself. 

On one occasion we received a letter from him saying he had 
a dun from a jewelry establishment of Louisville, and as he did not 
owe the bill he wrote the firm giving the address of six W. H. 
Millers of his acquaintance, telling the firm to dun all of them and 
may be in the rounds they would strike the right one: and in same 
told them of the writer, but at the same time writing them that he 
had no idea it was the writer, as he had an idea that the writer 
had never seen in or knew anything of a jewelry store.

MARGARET MILLER. 

(Named in Chapter 5, Section 7.) 

x\rtiole 1. — Margaret ^liller, a daughter of Daniel stiller and Sii- 
saiuiah Woods, his wife, was born in Madison Connty Ky., De- 
cember 20, 1805 (to January 15, 1873). 

She was a good woman in every sense 
of the word; a consistent member of the 
Presbyterian Chnrcli. February 9, 1S26, 
she was united in marriage to Edmund 
L. Shaclielford (born March 26, 1S02; 
died April 21, 1876), an elegant gen- 
tleman and man of affairs, who studied 
law and was admitted to the bar in his 
young manhood; he afterwards aban- 
doned the practice. For a number of 
years was Cashier of the Richmond 
Branch of the Northern Bank of Ken- 
tucky. After the Civil War, in 18 6.5, he 
moved to Danville, Kentucky, where they 
spent the rest of their days. Their re- 
mains lie in the Richmond Cemetery. 




MARGARET MILLER 

Wife of E. L. Shackleford 



Edmund Lyne Shackelford was a native born Kentuckian; his 
parents, however, came from Virginia to the State; he was a very 
estimable citizen and gentleman of great integrity, wholly devoted 
to duty, to his church, to his family, to his friends, to his county, 
and to his business; he commanded the 
respect of every one with whom he came 
in contact. The bank of Richmond, of 
which he was so long cashier, had its 
building on the corner of Main and Third 
streets, now the restaurant of Joe Giun- 
chigliani; when he left in 1865 the coun- 
ty lost one of its best citizens. He died 
in Danville April 21, 187 6; his remains 
were brought to Richmond and buried in 
the cemetery there, his wife having died 
January 15, 1873; her remains had been 
also interred in the same place.

the First National Banlv. She was married on the 6th day of Feb- 
ruary. 1S2(): so that she lived with hrv husband for the unusual 
period of almost forty-seven years. Though the mother of ('ight 
children, she was permitted to see but three of them grow up 1o 
manhood or womanhood. These, one son and two married daugh- 
ters, together with their venerable father, now mourn the loss of 
her — a loss felt all the more, especially by the latter, because they 
had so long traveled life's journey in company. Her sickness was 
of only four days' duration. Pneumonia, that dire enemy of the 
feeble and the aged, often completes its work of death with start- 
ling rapidity. Owing to the nature of her disease, and the suffering 
it induced, she was able to commune but little with her family or 
friends these few last days. What counsels she might otherwise 
have given them, or what expression of her religious feelings she 
might have made, we cannot tell. But the evidence of her piety 
and of a good hope through grace of a blessed immortality were 
not left to depend upon the experiences of the last hour. A life 
of faith and charity such as hers, is a testimony to be valued above 
all others. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall 
enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my 
Father which is in heaven." Mrs. Shackelford made a public pro- 
fession of faith in Christ and united with the Presbyterian Church 
at Richmond, in the spring of 1864, and her walk proved her a 
follower of "the Son of Man who came not to be ministered unto 
but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many." Of Jesus 
of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Ghost, it is said, 
as we may say of no other, "He went about doing good," Yet, in 
a real, though an inferior sense, we may safely predicate the same 
of His departed hand-maiden. And though she could not, like Him, 
"heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the 
people," she had the mind of Christ to minister according to her 
ability. This distinguishing trait of her character was admirably 
presented by her pastor, the Rev. Dr. McKee, in a most appropriate 
funeral discourse from these words, "For David after he had served 
his own generation by the will of God fell on sleep." Acts 13:36. 
Verily she did serve her generation. She served her family, her 
kindred, and the community where she lived, with a self-denial 
and a continuance in well-doing rarely equaled and still more rarely 
surpassed. Quiet and unostentatious in all her ways, she abounded 
in those tender ministries of love which are the true glory of Chris- 
tian women. The sick, the poor, the distressed of all classes shared 
in her kind and unremitting charities. The writer of this brief 
tribute to her worth hath abundant reason to cherish her memory, 
and to speak of her goodness. He can never forget her attentions 
to the sick and dying of his own household, while he yet had a 
household; how her gentle voice and hands ministered to the com- 
fort of his most beloved: how she watched with him and his chil- 
dren during the weary hours of night, when the life of the patient 
sufferer seemed fast ebbing away. In like manner could many oth- 
ers bear witness to her modest goodness. But the end hath come — 
the end of her serving. She resteth from her labors and her works 
do follow her. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter 
thou into the joy of the Lord." And in that august day when the 
Son of Man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, and all nations 
be gathered before him, who fitter than thou to stand among them 
on his right hand and to hear the King say: "Come, ye blessed 
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foun- 
dation of the world: for I was an hungered and ye gave me meat: 



9() Tlisfon/ and Gcnealofjies 

was thii-sty and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took 
me in; naked and ye clothed me; I was sick and ye visited me; I 
was in prison and ye came unto me?" 

But tliough it be well with her, there is another desolate home 
on earth. Heavy sorrow weighs down the spirits of the bereaved, 
though they sorrow not as those who have no hope. The loss of 
a mother, of such a mother, is an irreparable loss. The loneliness 
of him, who for almost half a century had her by his side as a sweet 
companion and faithful helper, none can fully realize, but those of 
a like experience. The desire of his eyes, the wife of his youth, 
has been taken from him in his old age. It is a dreadful stroke. 
The God of all consolation comfort these mourning hearts and give 
them grace to follow her even as she followed Christ. S. G.

CH APTEl? 13. 

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER IRVINE MILLER. 

(Named in Chapter 5, Section 10.) 

Article 1. — Colonel Christopher Irvine Miller, a son and youngest 
child of Daniel Miller and Susannah Woods, his wife, was bom 
near the mouth of Hickory Lick, a branch of >Iuddy Creek, at 
his parents' home, December 20, 1813. 

He was upwards of six feet and 
weighed two hundred pounds. He was 
joined in marriage, by Elder Allen Em- 
bry, an old Baptist preacher, September 
1, 1836, to Talitha Harris, a daughter 
of Christopher Harris and Sallie Wal- 
lace, his wife (see Part III, Chap. 30), 
the marriage occurring at the home of 
the bride's parents. Of this union 
eleven children were born, ten of whom 
were raised to maturity. He was a 
Colonel of Kentucky Militia; often is- 
sued the three days' notices to the mi- 
litia to attend the regimental and bat- 
talion drills. 

Christopher Irvine Miller was very 
fond of company and greatly enjoyed 
the presence of friends. Until age crept 
upon him, he enjoyed the sports of 
hunting, such as deer, birds, etc., and 
deer remained plentiful in the Kentucky 
apart a week or two of every fall which

him would return in the evening with 
more game in the bag than he. Many 
a long winter night at home by a bright 
wood fire in the presence of the family 
and others have we listened without tir- 
ing or getting sleepy to his hunting sto- 
ries, which, if printed as told by him, 
would be good reading. He was full of 
humor. 

No one had a kinder heart or cher- 
ished his friends more than did he, and 
nearly every one were fond of Irvine 
Miller. His enemies were few and far 
between. 

He was a farmer and upon his farm, 
near his dwelling, he built a blacksmith 
shop, which was provided with everything 
that was in that day considered neces- 
sary and convenient for the operation of 
a first class shop — including a goodly 
supply of the best of tools of every sort 
and size; his edged tools always found to be sharp and in splendid

condition, and he knew how to use them; he was a first class me- 
chanic and conld make anything from a needle or fish-hook to a 
wagon or plow. He never half-way did anything; he went on the 
principle that if a thing was worth doing at all it was worth doing 
well. His customers, who were many, not only in his own, but in 
adjoining counties, had the utmost confidence in him, not only in 
his work, but in his word, for his word was his bond and his work 
was his reward. He was a hard and constant worker and the 
greatest recreation he enjoyed was when on his hunting trips and an 
occasional outing, fishing in Station Camp Creek, or attending his 
church meetings. He operated his shop actively until just a few 
years before his death, then being physically unable to do so. His 
shop was known not only over the county, but adjoining counties. 
His work had a high reputation. He shod mules by the hundreds 
for the Southern market which were in those days driven through 
to market. He manufactured plows, wagons and all sorts of farm- 
ing utensils, did an immense amount of hOrae shoeing. His cele- 
brated turning plow, known as the "Miller Plow," was at that time 
the best plow made, and on many occasions given the premium over 
all other competitors at the fairs, and had a famous reputation and 
ready sale fast as made. 

For many years before his death he and his wife were consistent 
and beloved members of the old Baptist Church at Flatwoods. 

He was beloved, honored and respected by all who knew him, 
and at his death, which occurred October 14, 1878, at his Muddy 
Creelv liome, many relatives and friends mourned and lamented. 
He was much missed by his neighborhood for years thereafter. His 
sufferings, trials and labors have ceased and he is at perfect rest in 
the presence of his Maker and Redeemer. 

His remains were placed under the sod in the burying plot near 
and in front of the residence on the farm lately owned and occu- 
pied by the late Elder John M. Park, and stone properly inscribed 
marks the grave. His children will cherish his memory as long as 
they live. 

His wife, Talitha Harris, was born at the home of her parents 
on Muddy Creek, in said county of Madison, March 17, 1815. She 
survived from the death of her husband until January 2, 1882, 
when she passed from time to eternity, this event occurring at the 
home of her daughter, Susannah Hume, on Muddy Creek. She had 
not been strong and well for several years, was very sick sometime 
before her death. She did not fear to meet death, had abiding faith 
and trust in her Savior. She and her husband became members of 
the Flatwood Church at the same time. 

She possessed a strong mind, good judgment, open and free 
speech; what she had to say she said it, in plain words, without de- 
ceit. Was admired by all her acquaintances. What she said and did 
was in the open, unhidden. She was very industrious and no wo- 
man could accomplish more with her hands in the same time than 
she. She was beneficent and kind, big-hearted, a loving and true 
wife, a good mother. She is now asleep in Jesus. It seems hard 
to be separated from so good a mother, but the will of God be done. 
How consoling to know^ that her troubles are ended, with the com- 
fortable hope that she enjoys the sweet rest of that heavenly home 
of which she so sweetly and calmly spoke just before her departure. 
Her remains lie under the sod by the side of lier husband's. 

Mrs. Charles (Mary Miller) Stephens, of Paris, Ky., a daughter 
of General John Miller, writes that her "father and his brothers 
were well educated," and speaks of their beautiful hand-writing, 



104 Historij and Genealogies 

and says: "I remember dear Uncle Irvine, too, wrote a beautiful 
hand. I think he was one of the gentlest, loveliest men I ever knew. 
Really we love and honor the memories of all our uncles and aunts. 
They were a remarkable family, and we honor our wise grand- 
parents. Aunt Talitha, I remember, was one of the most genial, 
hospitable persons I ever knew, and so kind and sympathetic with 
children. She took me home with her once when I was a little girl 
— rode behind her on horseback — and in the evening Uncle Irvine 
would take the violin from its box and play the jolliest dance music, 
and you boys and girls and ourselves would have a happy time — 
your mother sitting by and enjoying it all. I recall many happy 
pictures of my childhood." 

In 1846 C. I. Miller qualified as Deputy Sheriff for Jacob S. 
White, Sheriff of Madison County, Ky. 

Accounts of their children are given in the coming sections: 
Nos. 1 to 11 inclusive: 

Section 1. Sarah Wallace Miller, a daughter and first born, was 
born at home on Drowning Creek, June 7, 1837; was joined in mar- 
riage, June 5, 1856, by Elder John M. Park, an old Baptist preacher, 
to Stanton Hmne Thorpe, at the home of her parents on Muddy 
Creek. She died May 27, 1897, survived by her husband, who lived 
a few years and died. The fruits of this union were ten children: 

1. Amelia Nash Thorpe, born May 4, 1857; married William 
Joseph Wagers, Jan. 11, 1877, a Muddy Creek farmer. To them 
was born one child: 

1. James Wagers, now a young man and Deputy Clerk of the 
Madison Circuit Court.

Section '2. Robert Daniel .Milk r, a son, second child, born 
at home on Drowning Creek, March 4, 1S39. He e.si)oused 
the cause of the South in the Civil War of 1S62 and enlisted in the 
Confederate Army, Chenaulfs Regimen! . under the command of 
Gen. .John H. Morgan. In the summer or early fall of 1S()2 he, 
with two companies of Confederate soldiers, under the temi)o- 
rary command of Capt. .lesse, proceeded from Tenness-'e to Central 
Kentucky, and on Monday, September 8, 1862, ihey came In 
contact with about 1,000 Federal soldiers in ambush on the top of 
Pine Mountain. Volley after volley of the enemy's balls was 
poured into them, killing and wounding several of the company, 
and killing nearly all their horses, and completely routing the little 
band, running them pell-mell over the rugged cliffs and declivities 
of the mountain. In the skirmish ^liller's horse was shot and killed 

from under him, but he, with Harris Thorpe, Scott Stivers, 

Stevens and two Owen County men, his comrades in arms, made 
temporarily their escape. But the topography of the cotintry, 
strange to them, wild and mountainous, alive with Federal sol- 
diers and buskwackers, and becoming very much fatigued, almost 
starved, and seeing no possible way of getting safely out, they 
very wisely concluded to, and did on the following Wednesday, sur- 
render to the home guards, and w^ere paroled. Miller then re- 
mained with, and as best he could, ministered to the wants 
and comforts of his uncle, .John Harris, who had been fatally shot in 
the battle, until his death, which occurred in a few days. He then 
attended to and saw that his remains were buried in as decent a 
manner as possible under the existing circumstances. Thereupon, 
he returned home, where he remained about two weeks, when under 
exchange, he re-entered the Confederate service, under the gallant 
and intrepid Gen. John H. Morgan: was engaged in many daring and 
rapid raids, and several severe conflicts; was again captured in 
General Morgan's famous raid into the States of Indiana and Ohio, 
and carried as a prisoner of war to Camp Morton, near Indianapolis, 
Indiana. In his removal from there to the Federal Prison, Camp 
Douglas, at Chicago, he made good his escape by jumi)ing from the 
train of cars on which the prisoners were aboard, and made his way 
under difficulties, back to Madison County, Kentucky, which at that 
time was in complete possession of the Federal forces. Arriving 
at home late one rainy night, thinly clad, food and raiment were 
furnished him by his good mother, when he immediately retired to 
a thicket on the place, not even daring to take shelter under the 
parental roof, for fear of being recaptured by the enemy and en- 
dangering the safety of the liberty or lives of his father and mother, 
and being himself disposed of as a spy. Remaining concealed on the 
place for about a week, he left and went, accompanied b.v a friend, 
through the country to Paris, Ky., and there boarded a train of cars 
and was carried by railroad speed to the State of Minnesota, and 
there engaged in work for a time, until the opportunity presented it- 
self, when he joined a company or wagon traiir, backed by Federal 
troops and crossed the Western plains to the territory of Idaho, the 
Indians of the section through which they traveled then being on 
the war path, and causing much trouble to the government, having 
several fights with the Indians on the way. He remained in the 
territories of Idaho and Montana, engaged in prospecting and min- 
ing for gold, until the year 1S67, when he returned to the home of 
his parents. 

During his absence from home he had been exposed to many 
dangers and hardships; he remained at home something like a year, 



lOG Histori/ (IikI fTcncdltxjies 

and then went and located at Goodland, Newton County, Ind., about 
the first of 18 68. The next year, towards its close, he returned to 
Madison County, Kentucky, and on December 22, 1869, was mar- 
ried to Susan J. Barrett, a daughter of Francis Barnett and Miranda 
Duncan his wife (who were married Sept. 2 6, 18 44), at the resi- 
dence of Coleman Covington, on Muddy Creek, by Elder .John M. 
Park, an old Baptist preacher. Then he and his bride left for their 
home at Goodland, where they lived until the year 187 6, when they 
returned to near Earl Park, Benton County, Indiana, a distance less 
than half a days' horseback ride from the spot where he made his 
escape from the Federal soldiers. He lived at near Earl Park for 
a number of years and then went with his family to Denver, Colo- 
rado, where his wife died. His wife was born March 20, 1857, 
and was killed by an accident on an elevator in Denver, Colorado, a 
r umber of years since. 

He now lives in Woodward County, Oklahoma, about eleven 
miles from a little place called Doris, where he has entered and 
staked a claim for 160 acres of land, upon which he has lived for 
four years, being required by the Government to occupy the same 
five years before perfecting his title to the land. Their children: 

1. Laura Frances Miller, born Oct. 3, 1870; married .1. W. 
Horstman, of Denver, Colorado. 

2. Miranda Matilda Miller, born Nov. 27, 1871: married E. P. 
Worcester; they live in Des Moines, Iowa. Their children: 

1. Earl Worcester. 

2. Irene Worcester. 

3. Eugene Worcester. 

3. Talitha Ann Eliza Miller, born Nov. 29, 1873; died . 

4. Eddie Lyon Shackelford Miller, born .Jan. 19, 1895; died 
Sept. 3, 1896. 

5. Susan Robert Miller, born .Jan. 9, 1877, married J. D. 
Wilmot, of Denver, Colorado. 

6. A daughter, Susannah, born Aug. 23, 1S79; died Sept. 6, 
1879. 

7. Christopher Irvine Miller, born April 6, 1882; a railroad man 
of Denver, Colorado. 

8. Leah Miller, the youngest, now living in Denver, Colorado. 

Section 3. James Christopher Miller, a son, was born at the 
John Blanton House, on Downing Creek, Sept. 3, 1841. He favored 
the cause of the South and joined the Confederate army, Chenault's 
Regiment, under the command of General John H. Morgan, in the 
late Civil War of 1862. In that noted raid of the daring Morgan 
into the States of Indiana and Ohio, in which his men were in the 
saddle twenty-odd days without sleep, only what they got on the 
backs of their horses: he was captured at Cheshire, O., and taken as a 
prisoner of war, first to the Federal prison in Camp Chase, and 
there in that filthy place confined for a time: from there removed 
to Camp Douglas, at Chicago, where he remained in prison for eigh- 
teen months. When all hope for the success of the Southern cause 
was exploded, by taking the oath of allegiance to the Federal Gov- 
ernment, he was released from prison and came home. When the 
rights of suffrage, which was taken from the Confederates, as rebels, 
was finally restored, through the efforts of such men as Gen. Frank 
Wolford, his first attempt to vote was under the bayonet, and the 
officers of the election refused him a vote, which the courts upheld. 

During his service in the army he was in many bold raids un- 



tier his noted leader, engaged in several battles, and exposed to 
all the dangers and hardships incident to such service. 

Having learned under his father before entering the war, the 
trade of a blacksmith when he came home he followed that as 
an occupation until his marriage. After that event he followed 
farming some years, when he moved to Northern Indiana, Newton, 
County, where he lived a time and then came back to Madison Coun- 
ty, Ky., and engaged again in blacksmithing, following the same 
for several years. He tired of that and began farming once more. 
He now lives on the old farm where his father lived and died. 

September 22, 1869, he was joined in marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth 
S. Rayburn, widow- of .John Rayburn, deceased, and daughter of 
Wilson C. N. Broaddas, by Elder John M. Park, at her late home on 
Upper Muddy Creek. She was a descendant of the old Virginia 
family set forth in the attached Notes of the Broaddus family,

Note. Mr. Hume was a son of Larkin Hume and Nancy Mober-

116 Histori/ and Genealogies 

dustrioiis, true and affectionate and liked by all who knew her. To 
this union these children were born: 

1. Thomas Richard Hume, born July 26, 1874; went in the year 
IS — on a visit to the Provine of Canada; was stricken and died 

, 18 — , on his way from there home, which event was a 

severe shock to his mother, his father having died some years 
previous. His remains were forwarded to Richmond, Ivy., and 
there buried in the cemetery. 

2. Nancy Moberley Hume, born Feb. 6, 1876; married Chris- 
topher Fogg Chenault, son of Anderson Chenault and Elizabeth 
Fogg, his wife. Mr. Chenault is an extentive farmer, owns an 
interest in the Elliston Roller Mills, lajge interest at Conway, 
Ky., in several thousand acres of land and mills. Has recently 
purchased the Stone or Terrell farm in the eastern suburbs of 
Richmond. (See Part V, Chap. 13, Sec. 9.) Their children: 

1. Elizabeth Susan Chenault. 

2. Anderson Hume Chenault. 

3. Mary Emily Chenault. 

4. Nancy Woods Chenault, baby. 

They live on the Richmond and Irvine Pike, one mile east 
of Richmond, on the farm of the late Anderson Chenault, 
known as the Miller or Goodloe place. 

3. Irvine Miller Hume, born Jan. 18, 1878. He and his brother 
George own land and property in partnership and live about two 
miles northeast of Richmond and are engaged in farming and 
raising and trading in stock. 

4. George Larkin Hume, born Jan. 24, 1880. He and his 
brother Irvine are partners in business and live together, as stat- 
ed in above Section 3. 

Their father, Thomas R. Hume died, leaving his wife and chil- 
dren surviving and in good circumstances, and his remains were 
buried in the Richmond Cemetery. His widow afterwards married 
Algin S. Hisle, and they lived on her dowry on Muddy Creek, the 
old Hume home, until the sudden death of Mr. Hisle, Oct. 29, 1906, 
in the 67th year of his age. 

Mr. Hume was a splendid man, a good farmer, stock raiser, 
economical, kind, good-hearted; an indulgent, generous and affec- 
tionate husband and father; a splendid provider for his family, and 
when he died the whole community felt the loss of a good and use- 
ful citizen, neighbor, relative and friend. He was exceedingly fond 
of his wife and children, with whom he took great pleasure, fond- 
ling his little children on his knees and in his lap, and he was 
never too tired to enjoy their climbing and pulling over him. 

Section 8. William Harris Miller, a son, was born at the home 
on Muddy Creek, Oct. 22, 1852. He was raised on the farm until 
eighteen years of age, when, on the 28th of December, 1870, his 
father secured him a position as Deputy Clerk of the Madison 
County Court, under his cousin, George D. Shackelford, in which 
capacity he served till the death of Mr. Shackelford, which occurred 
the latter days of May, 1874, about three months before his time 
of office expired, and his brother, James T. Shackelford, was ap- 
pointed to fill the vacancy and the subject was retained as Deputy 
under the latter. There is, however, excepted from the above 
period of service under George D. Shackelford one year, from Au- 
gust, 1872, to August, 1873, in which time he was Deputy for 
Charles K. Oldham, Sheriff of Madison County. 

In 187 4, his cousin, George Shackelford, being in very poor 



Ilisloni and (icncdioyies IK 

health, and unable to make another race for office, at the solicita- 
tion of his said cousin and others, W. H. Miller, who had just ar- 
rived at the age of twenty-one years, became a candidate for the 
Democratic nomination for the office of Clerk of the Madison Coun- 
ty Court, but at the primary election, held in May of that year, in 
which there were four aspirants, he was defeated, Mr. James Tevis 
securing the nomination. 

At the regular election in August of the same year, 1874, Wil- 
liam M. Embry was elected Clerk of the Circuit Court, and offered 
W. H. Miller the Deputy Clerkship, which he accepted, and on the 
17th of August, 1874, he left the County Court office and qualified 
and acted as Deputy Circuit Court Clerk until April 15, 1879. Em- 
l)ry having died in office on March 9, 1880, before the expiration 
of his term in August of that year, on the 11th of March, the Hon- 
orable Joseph D. Hunt, Judge of said court, of his own volition, 
issued to said Miller a certificate in this language, to-wit: 

"I, J. D. Hunt, Circuit Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of 
Kentucky, of which the counties of Madison and Fayette compose 
a part, do hereby certify that William H. Miller has been examined 
by the Clerk of the Fayette Circuit Court, under my supervision, 
touching his qualifications for the office of Clerk of the Circuit 
Court, and that he is qualified for that office. 

"And, whereas, the 'office of Clerk of the Madison Circuit Court 
has become vacant by the death of William M. Embry, late Clerk 
of said Court, I do hereby appoint the said William H. Miller, of 
Madison County, to be Clerk of the Madison Circuit Court during the 
remainder of the term for which said William M. Embry was elected. 

"Witness my hand as Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of 
Kentucky, this eleventh day of March, 1880. 

J.D.HUNT, 
Judge 10th Dist. Ky." 

Under which certificate said Miller qualified by taking the oath 
and executing the bond by law required, and served as Clerk for 
the remainder of Embry's term. 

In a heated Democratic primary contest he received the nom- 
ination, and in August, 1880, under that nomination was elected 
Clerk of the Circuit Court for the term of six years, qualified and 
acted as such. Was elected again in 1886 for another term of six 
years, qualified and acted as such. Was defeated for the nomina- 
tion for the same office at the primary held preceding the regular 
election in August, 1892, by his nephew, S. H. Thorpe, who had 
been his deputy and lived with him for a number of years; but un- 
der the ])rovision of the new State Constitution recently before 
adopted, his term was continued from August, 189 2, till the 1st 
of January, 1893, when his successor took possession of the office. 

He worked as deputy three years in the County Court and five 
years in the Circuit Court Clerk's office, and was Chief Clerk of the 
Circuit Court nearly thirteen years, equaling twenty-one years of 
hard service in the two courts. 

In March, 1894, after being out of the Clerk's office for a little 
over a year, he was appointed United States general storekeeper 
and guager in the revenue service and, later on jiromoted in said 
service to the office of Deputy Collector under Hon. Chas. H. Rodes, 
Collector of Internal Revenue, and served through the remainder 
of Mr. Rodes' term, who was succeeded by Hon. John W. Yerkes, and 
he continued as deputy under Mr. Yerkes till January 1, 1899, when 
he resigned. 



lis History und Grnealogies 

During Mr. Rodes' incumbency the office was located at Rich- 
mond, Ky.; when Mr. Yerlies became Collector the office, which 
was comfortably quartered in a fine, substantial, well fixtured and 
furnished government building, built purposely for that, the U. S. 
Court and Postoffice was, by the political influence of the Collector, 
removed, with all the records, etc., to Danville, the home of Mr. 
Yerkes, in rented quarters, which removal for a time exercised the 
people of old Madisan. 

On the 2 7th day of February, 18 84, the subject here was married 
to Katherine Oldham, a daughter of William Kavanaugh Oldham 
and his wife, Jacintha Catherine Brown, at the residence of her 
said father on Otter Creek, near Richmond, Ky., by Rev. Seneca X. 
Hall, a Methodist preacher. (See Part VI, Chap. 21, and Part VIII, 
Chap. 14, Sec. 7.) Of this union there was no issue. 

Section 9. Mary Eliza Miller, a daughter, born at the home on 
Muddy Creek, Jan. 29, 1855; lived with her mother till she broke 
up housekeeping in 18 — , and then made her home with her sister 
Susan and brother William; was living with her said sister when 
she was married, the 8th day of May, 1890, to John W. Rupert, a 
son of Laban Rupert and Elizabeth Tribble, his wife. Mr. Rupert 
has, for the greater part of his life, been engaged at different places 
as salesman for merchants. They lived awhile at Elliston, where 
he sold goods, and at Rice's Station, doing the same, and then moved 
to Richmond, where he was employed as clerk in a store. Clerking 
a number of years in the dry goods house of E. V. Elder, which place 
he gave up in January, 1905, sold out his effects and went to 
Woodward County, Oklahoma, and there remained until October, 
1905, and becoming dissatisfied with the country, sold out and 
moved back to Kentucky, now living in Conway, Rockcastle Coun- 
ty, Ky. Since the above was written they have removed to Berea, 
where he is merchandizing in his own name. They have no children 
born of them. 

Section 10. Michael Woods Miller, a son, born at the home on 
Muddy Creek, Feb. 13, 1857. His father died in October, 1878, 
mother surviving, with whom he remained until she broke up house- 
keeping in 1881, and lived with his sister Susannah until the • 

day of , 18 — , when he was married to Ella Hogan, daugh- 
ter of Dr. Hugh W. Hogan and Laura Broaddus, his wife. (See 
Part I, Chap. 13, Sec. 3. Note.) After his marriage he located at 
Elliston, where he acquired a home and built a blacksmith shop, 
which he operated a number of years, and then abandoned to accept 
employment in the Elliston Mills, then owned by W. T. Griggs, after- 
wards succeeded by the Elliston Mill Company, wherein he is still 
employed. Recently he united by experience and baptism with the 
United Baptist Church at Waco, Ky. To them these children have 
been born: 

1. Eugene Miller, born the 18th day of September, 1886. 

2. Christopher Hogan Miller, born 6th day of December, 1888. 

Section 11. Elizabeth Frances Miller, a daughter, and the 
youngest child, was born at the home on Muddy Creek, July 15, 
1864. Sister Bettie as we all called her, was the baby girl, born 
when mother was nearly fifty years old, and all of the family were 
very fond of her; she had a sweet disposition, was generous and 
kind-hearted. In May, 1882, when in her eighteenth year, without 
previous notice, she eloped with aild was married the 8th of the

CHAPTEE 14. 

COLONEL JOHN MILLER. 

(Named in Section 6, Chapter ?,, Part T.) 

.Article 1. — Colonel John Miller, a son of Robert Miller and Ann 
Lynn, his wife, mentioned in Chai)ter :?, was born in .Vlbeniarle, 
Xelsen or Orange Connty, Virginia, July 1, 1750. 

He was married in Albemarle County, Virginia, March 20, 1774, 
to Jane Delaney, and he died September 8, 1806. His wife was 
born January 1, 17 51, and died March IM, 1844, living to the age 
of 9 3 years past. Her mother was Miss Durrett. 

In the fall of 1784 Colonel John Miller, with his wife and young 
children who had been born before that date, left home and friends 
in Albemarle and moved to Kentucky, which at that time formed a 
part of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and settled on the head 
waters of a prong of Otter Creek, where the city of Richmond now 
is, and acquired and owned a considerable body of land there, upon 
which he put valuable and lasting improvements — building the first 
house that was built there, and where he ever after made his home 
till his death in 1806. His house was built on the spot where the 
Northern Presbyterian Church stands, and his spring was just east, 
near the present Zaring Mill and Bicycle Shop. 

He was commissioned by Patrick Henry, Esq., Governor of Vir- 
ginia, as Justice' of the Peace, and the first Order Book of the Mad- 
ison County Court, page 48, date June 26, 1787, shows that "Robert 
Rodes and John Miller, gentlemen, named in the commission of the 
Peace for the County, came into court and took the oath of fidelity 
to the Commonwealth and the oath of Justice of the Peace and of 
Oyer and Terminer." 

The first court of the County of Madison was held at the house 
of George Adams, on Tuesday, the 22d day of August, 1786, as ap- 
pears from the first entry in the first Order Book of the county, 
commencing on page 1. A copy of which is here presented: 

"At the house of George Adams, in the County of Madison, on 
Tuesday, the twenty-second day of August, in the year of our Lord 
One thousand seven hundred and eighty-six. 

"A commission of the Peace, and of Oyer and Terminer from 
His Excellency, Patrick Henry, Esquire, Governor of the Common- 
wealth of Virginia, directed to George Adams, John Snoddy, Chris- 
topher Irvine, David Gass, Jas. Barnett, John Bowles (or Boyle), Jas. 
Thompson, Archibald Woods, Nicholas George, and Joseph Kennedy, 
Gentlemen, constituting them Justices of the Peace, and of Oyer 
and Terminer in and for the said County of Madison, was produced 



1-<JU History and Genealogies 

and read. Whereupon the said John Snoddy and Christopher Irvine 
administered the oath of fidelity to the Commonwealth, and the 
oath of a Justice of the Peace, and of Oyer and Terminer to George 
Adams, Gent, who then administered the said oaths to the said 
John Snoddy, Christopher Irvine, David Gass, James Barnett, John 
Bowles (or Boyle), Archibald Woods, Nicholas George, and Joseph 
Kennedy, Gent., and thereupon a court was held for the said County 
of Madison. Present." (Here naming the Justices aforesaid.) 

Note — The words "Oyer and Terminer" meaning a hearing and 
determining. 

At this date (August 22, 1786) this name, "John Bowles," ap- 
pears in the record as one of the Justices of the Peace, and it so 
appears at every subsequent court held until Tuesday, Oct. 2 4, 17 86, 
when the name is written for the first time in the record "John 
Boyles," and the letter "s" should have been omitted, for he signed 
his name to documents "John Boyle." A deposition given by him, 
Aug. 30, 1806, to which he signed his name "John Boyle," is in 
words and figures as follows: 

DEPOSITION OF JOHN BOYLE. 

"In pursuance of an order of the Worshipful Court of Madison 
County directing us to call upon witness to establish the calls of 
an entry made in the name of John Mounce, for four hundred acres 
lying on Hayes Fork of Silver Creek, agreeable to said order, we 
called upon John Boyle, Sen'r, and being on the ground, the said 
Deponent deposeth and saith by way of interrogatives: 

Question by John Kincaid: How long was it since you made the 
improvement, and who was in company with you? 

Answer: I think it was in the year 17 79, and in the month of 
May, and Hugh Seper was in company with me. 

Question by same: Did not John Mounce, Yelverton Peyton, 
David Miller and myself — that is John Kincaid — come with you to 
this place on our way to Boonesborough? 

Answer: Yes, I think in the month of June following I was 
here in company with the above-mentioned persons. 

Question by same: What did you do with this improvement? 
Did you give it to anyone? 

Answer: Yes, I gave it to John Mounce. 

Question by same: Did Mounce make any addition to the im- 
provement, at the time you gave it to him, by marking other trees? 

Answer: I think he did mark some trees or saplings. 

Question: Are you certain that this is the same Improvement 
that you first made for Black, and afterwards gave it to Mounce? 

Answer: Yes. 

Question by same: How far is this Improvement from the mouth 
of the branch that we went up on our route to Boonesborough? 

Answer: I think about 25 or 30 steps. 

Question by same: Is there any appearance of the old Improve- 
ment visible at this day? 

Answer: Yes. I think there is upon two trees. 

Question by same: How far is this Improvement from the Im- 
provement below, called Mounces, on what is called Mounce's Fork? 

Answer: I suppose it is about a quarter, as near as I can guess, 
without measuring. 

Question by same: How far is it from that to my own Improve- 
ment down the creek? 



Ihshirij mill ( li'iii'iiliKjii's \'l\ 

Answer: I reckon it is about a half mile, as near as I can guess, 
without measuring. 

Question by same: Can you describe the ground where my im- 
provement stood, or was made? 

Answer: I can. It was in a good smart bend in the creek, in 
a fiat bottom near the creek. 

Question by same: Was not the marks made on Mounce's 
Branch (towit), the two first letters of Mounce's, and my own name, 
made as marks of a conditional line, as well as an Imi rovement for 
Mounce to hold land? 

Answer: The branch was the conditional line between them, 
and, as well as I recollect, they both marked the two first letters 
of their names there. 

Question by same: Was not Mounce to run up the creek, and I 
down from that place for quantity? 

Answer: Yes. 

Question by same: Was you with Mounce when he laid in his 
claim before the Commissioners and obtained a certificate? 

Answer: Yes, I was. 

Question by same: Was not this the very land for which he 
obtained a certificate? 

Answer: I think the land he intended to hold was from Mounce's 
Fork up the creek. 

Question by same: Was not this place from the intersection of 
the two forlvs so remarkable that a man who was formerly acquaint- 
ed with it might know it again? 

Answer: Yes. I should think so. 

Question by same: What branch was it that you alluded to that 
you said we went up on our way to Boonesborough? 

Answer: The same that mouths in just above this Improvement 
and comes down through John Kincaid's Improvement or plantation. 

And further this Deponent further saith not.

Attest: WILL IRVINE, C. M. C. 



The first Court House of Madison County was at Milford, on 
Taylor's Fork of Silver Creek, now called "Old Town" — only ruins 
of which can be seen — established by the Virginia General Assembly 
in 17S9. The act of the Kentucky General Assembly directing the 
removal of the county seat from Milford to the new town of Rich- 
mond, authorized the Madison County Court of Quarter Sessions to 
adjourn to John Miller's new stable in Richmond. 

Colonel John Miller was a representative from Kentucky County 
in the Virginia General Assembly and represented Madison County 



122 Histury and Genealogies 

in General Assembly in the years 1792-4. He was the first settler 
of Richmond, who, in the fall of 1784, came with his family from 
Albemarle County, Virginia, as before stated, and settled in the 
cane near Main Street, on Lot No. 4, and afterwards built the first 
hewed log-house in the place. He was proprietor of the first hotel, 
or tavern, in the place. He was a Captain in the Revolutionary 
army and was at the siege of Yorktown. Afterwards he held a com- 
mission with the rank of Colonel. He died September 8, 1806, 
leaving his last will and testament, bearing date February 14, 1806, 
probated December 5, 1806; recorded in Will Book A, page 4 52, 
in these words and figures: 

JOHN MILLER'S WILL. 

In the name of God, Amen, I, John Miller, of Madison County, 
and State of Kentucky, do make and ordain this my last will and 
testament, revoking all others by me heretofore made. In the first 
place, it is my will and desire that all my just debts be paid by my 
Executors hereafter named as soon as conveniently may be after 
my decease. I give to my beloved wife, Jane Miller, during her nat- 
ural life, and no longer, the plantation and tract of land whereon 
I now live, including the tract which I purchased of my son, Robert 
Miller, and also the tract I purchased of Cornelius Maupin; also all 
my negroes, live stock, household and kitchen furniture, all my un- 
mentioned estate, after satisfaction and payments of my just debts, 
bequeaths and devises, hereafter mentioned, for and during the said 
term of her natural life, to be in full satisfaction of and in lieu of 
dower in my real and personal estate. 

I give to my son, Robert Miller, and his heirs forever, twenty 
acres of land to be in a square and to be taken off of the east corner 
of my tract of land on which the town of Richmond stands. Also, 
one negro. 

I give to my son, William Miller, and to his heirs forever, and 
to my son, John Miller, Jun'r, and to his heirs forever, the tract 
of land on which the said town of Richmond stands, to be equally 
divided between them, by such division line as they may agree upon, 
but it is to be understood that the devise is not to include or extend 
to any property I may hold within the boundary of said town, nor 
to any part of said tract I may have sold by written or verbal con- 
tract, nor to the part before devised to my son Robert. 

I devise to my son, Thomas Miller, and to his heirs forever, one 
tract of land lying in the said county near the said town of Rich- 
mond which I purchased from Elijah Gaddy, containing one hundred 
acres. Also, two negroes. 

I devise to my son, Delaney Miller, and to his heirs forever, one 
hundred and forty acres of land, being part of the tract whereon 
I now live, which I purchased of my son, Robert Miller, and Cor- 
nelius Maupin, to be laid off of the south end of said tract, and 
not to come nearer to the dwelling house than three hundred and 
fifty yards, to extend up the line between me and John Patrick and 
the improvement for quantity. Also, two negroes. 

I devise to my son, Garland Miller, and his heirs forever, the bal- 
ance of the aforementioned tract of land whereon I now live, be 
the same, more or less, except the part already devised to my son 
Delaney Miller, to be laid off in the manner and form before men- 
tioned, or any other way they may agree upon to suit themselves, 
to have and enjoy the same after the determination of the other 
therein before devised to his mother. I, also, give him two negroes. 



/lishnij (I ml (l('ii('(il()</ics \'i',) 

I devise to my son, Joseph Miller, and his heirs forever, one tract 
of land lying on the waters of Paint Lick Creek, deeded to me by 
David Wells, containing two hundred acres, be the same (more) or 
less. Also two negroes. 

1 give to my daughter, Anna Reid, one negro. 

I give to my daughter, Elizabeth Kavanaugh, one negro. 

I give to my daughter, Jane Lackey, two negroes. 

I give to my daughter, Frances Miller, three negroes. 

I give to my sons Delaney and Garland each, and to my daughter 
Frances, one horse and saddle, and two cows and calves, and one 
bed and furniture, to be paid them at the time of their marriage, or 
attaining the age of twenty-one years, whichever shall first happen, 
to be allowed to them out of the estate in my beloved wife's 
liands, by my Executors, if she should be then living, and if she 
should not be then living, give them the value of said articles in 
cash, the value to be ascertained by neighbors — one chosen by my 
Executors, one by such child entitled thereto, and a third chosen 
by these two; it is to be fairly understood that if I should, in my 
life time, give to any of my children a negro, and other property 
herein devised or given, that it is to be considered satisfaction of 
the devise or bequest of such negro, all as far as it answers the de- 
scription herein given. It is further to be understood that the ne- 
groes herein given and devised are not to be paid to my said chil- 
dren until after the death of my wife, unless she shall choose to 
part with them, in which case she may at any time pay to any one, 
or more, any, all, or more of said negroes, with the assent of my 
Executors, or the survivors of them. 

Should any of my children die before me, the devise and bequest 
herein made to said children are to stand good and effectual to the 
heirs of such person — according to the laws of descent in the Com- 
monwealth. JOHN MILLER, L. S.

Continuation of John Miller's Will: 

"I constitute and appoint my friends, William Irvine, Robert 
Rodes, Executors of this my last will and testament. I empower 
them to make convey — for my lands which at the time of my death 
I may have sold, and unconveyed, either by written or verbal con- 
tract. I, also, empower them to divide my negroes according to 
the division of them herein made, as equal as may be. I do, also, 
em])ower them to sell and convey, as to them may seem best, all 
my lots in the town of Richmond, and to dispose of any part of my 
personal estate, if necessary, to raise money for the payment of my 
debts, and the residue, if any, from the sale of the lots, and col- 
lections of my debts, to pay the same to my wife. I declare my wife 
is not to give security for the keeping of the property left her, nor 
is she to be answerable for its depreciation in value, etc. And, 
whereas, I have at sundry times given to my children who have 
grown to years of maturity, a negro, or negroes, etc., I do now ratify 
and confirm to them all and every gift which I may before have 
made, and do declare that when I have delivered them any negro 
without an express stipulation to the contrary, that it is to be con- 
sidered a gift. 

All my est-ate left after the death of my wife, and not herein 



124 History and Genealogies 

otherwise disposed of, I give to my dauglitei-s, Anna Reid, Elizabetli 
Kavanaugh, Jane Laclvey, and Frances Miller, to be equally divided 
between them, and I wish it to be understood that whereas I have by 
deed given to my daughter, Elizabeth Kavanaugh, and her heirs, a 
part of a lot in the town of Richmond of the value of fifty pounds, 
now unless the said gift can be rescinded, and the said lot or the 
value thereof to be equally divided between the brothers and sisters, 
she is not to receive any part of my estate as last above mentioned 
devised to Anna Reid, Elizabeth Kavanaugh, Jane Lackey, and 
Frances Miller. Shall each of them have received the sum of fifty 
pounds, should there be any balance, it is then to be equally divided 
between them. 

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed 
my seal this 24th day of February, 1806.

WILLIAM M MILLER 



William Malconi Miller, born February 6, 1810; died Fri- 
day, July 16, 1889. About the time of 
President Lincoln's Emancipation Proc- 
-''' lamation he owned thirty-odd negro 

slaves. Moses was the only one that re- 
mained with him till the freedom of the 
negroes, the rest having left their mas- 
ter, and a number of them enlisted in 
the Federal service. His father gave him 
a considerable number and he bought a 
number at his father's sale, and a num- 
ber were given him by his uncle, Alex- 
ander Lackey. He owned a fine body of 
land and other personal property. When 
General Scott's command was in Madison 
County, Ky., on the 2Sth of July, 1863, 
eight head of blooded horses and mares 
were taken from him. In July, 1864, a 
fine horse, "Snap," was stolen from his 
pasture. On March 3, 18 65, an excellent 
bay horse, five years old, was clandestine- 
ly taken from his premises. William 
Malcolm Miller was an exceedingly prominent, popular, influen- 
tial and useful citizen-farmer of Madison County, Kentucky. He 
represented the county in the lower 
house of the State General Assembly _ 

in 1855-7. He married, April 2, 183 9, 
Mary Jane Patterson, the mother of 
his children. After her death he mar- 
ried the second time, Mrs. Ann Eliza 
Heatherly, widow of Mahlon B. Heath- 
erly, and a daughter of Edward B. 
Jarman and Judith Waddy Maupin, 
his wife. (See Part V, Chap. 4, Sec. 1.) 
Note: "Mary Jane Patterson, the 
first wife of William Malcolm Miller, 
was a daughter of Robert C. Patter- 
son and Nancy Waller Broaddus, his 
wife. She was born Feb. 13, 1824; 
married William Malcolm Miller April 
2, 1839, as aforesaid, and died April 
19, 1876. Her father, Robert C. Pat- 
terson, was born Sept. 19, 1797, and 
died Jan. 11, 1871. Her mother, 
Nancy Waller Broaddus Patterson, 
was born July 6, 1805, and died June 
26, 1876." (See Part L Chap. 13, Sec. 

The children of William Malcolm Miller and Mary Jane Pat- 
terson, his wife: 

1. Judge William C. Miller, one of the most popular men the 
County of Madison ever produced, possessed of a splendid in- 
tellect, good education, fine looks, a ready speaker, splendid 
conversationalist, and a ready mixer; very infatuating in his 
manner and address. Was a member of the Richmond bar. 
In 1870 he was elected County Attorney, which office he filled 
one term, if not two, with great credit to himself and satisfac- 
tion to his constituents. Afterwards he was elected Judge of

the County Court, and twice re-elected, and died in office. He 
was born .Tan. 26, 1840: married Susan White, daughter of 
Col. Richard X. White, of Richmond, Ky., Nov. 27, 1867. He 
died Oct. 21, 1885, leaving many friends. Their children: 

1. Mary Miller: married Clarence E. Woods, the present 
Mayor of Richmond. She died childless and Mr. Woods mar- 
ried again, Mattie Chenault. (See above Sec. 2, and Part II, 
Chap. 13, Sec. .3.) 

2. Richard White Miller, a very |)oi)ular man: member of 
the Richmond bar, and politician: highly educated, polished 
gentleman. He represented Madison County in the State 
Legislature in 1904-5; elected on the Democratic ticket, was 
re-elected, and was at his death her Representative. Was 
defeated for Speaker of the House, but was a formidable 
contestant for the i)osition. He was a gifted man and made 
a most prominent member. He was one of the foremost 
orators of the state, and contended earnestly, eloquently and 
fearlessly for his conception of the right. Besides, he was 
Chairman of the Democratic Committee of Madison County; 
member of the State Central Committee of the party of the 
Eighth District of Kentucky; was the House delegate to the 
National Divorce Congress; was in a high degree honest in 
the discharge of duties. Many complimentary expressions 
of Richard White Miller appeared in the state press. He 
was the candidate from Madison County for a seat in the 
United States Congress as a Democrat from the Eighth Dis- 
trict of Kentucky when he was stricken with creeping paral- 
ysis, after delivering a telling speech at Stanford, Lincoln 
County, Ky., on the 28th of June, 1906, from which he never 
rallied, and died the 29th of June, and was buried in the 
Richmond Cemetery Sunday evening, July 1, 19 06, the ser- 
vices being conducted by the orders of Elks and Knights 
Templar, and Rev. J. Addison Smith, Presbyterian divine, 
from the residence of Mrs. W^illiam M. Irvine, on Lancaster 
Avenue. A large concourse of people, relatives and friends 
from Madison County and other sections of the state, and 
from other states, accompanied the remains to their last 
resting place. The loss of Richard White Miller was felt by 
the whole state. It seemed that a brilliant future was in 
front of him, when his career on earth was brought to a close 
by death. His wife was absent visiting friends and relatives 
in the Southland when Mr. Miller was stricken, and did not 
reach his bedside till two hours after life was extinct: he 
died with his hand in that of his pastor, the Rev. Smith, his 
talk to whom just before his dissolution was most beautiful; 
his faith in his Redeemer was manifested and he did not 
fear death. His wife was Miss Sue Patton (see Part II, 
Chap. 5, Sec. 1), a great-granddaughter of Colonel David 
Irvine, the second Clerk of the Madison County and Circuit 
Courts (successor to his father, William Irvine, the first 
Clerk). They have a child:

Madison County, Ky., and second, July 29, 180 6, in the same coun- 
ty, to Miss Anna Woods, daughter of Archibald Woods and Mourn- 
ing Shelton, his wife. (See Part II, Chap. 8, Sec. 7.) 

On the ground where the beautiful Richmond Cemetery is situ- 
ated, in the year 18 00. Thomas Miller killed a wolf. In about the 



ffls/ni-i/ II III! flniriiliiiiics |;>.") 

year ISIS he and his l)i-other John emigrated to Alabama and set- 
tled near Xew Market, in Madison County, where Thomas Miller 
established his home, and his home was called "Hickory Flat." One 
writer states that "he was Representative in the Legislature and 
State Senator for sixteen consecutive terms, and declined to make 
the race for the seventeenth." 

Dr. W. G. Xorris, a distinguished citizen of New Market, in his 
history of the town says: "Thomas Miller, a brother of John Miller, 
settled four miles north of New Market at an early day. The two 
brothers, although dissimilar in many respects, were both men of 
note and worth. Each of them reared large families, all of whom 
were highly intellectual and no taint or stain of dishonor ever at- 
tached to any of them. Both brothers were strong Democrats. 
Thomas Miller served in the Alabama Legislature from 18 2.3 to 
1S2 7 inclusive. Nature seemed to have marked him as a favorite. 
He was tall and well pojiortioned, with a head and face which the 
ablest artist would pronounce a masterpiece. His mental powers 
were equal to his physical. He was not a lawyer, yet was always 
ready in thought and language — exhibiting a vigor of mind and a 
degree of culture that did him credit. He was one of the best of 
neighbors. If a near resident became sick, he invariably attended 
to his wants, and if needed, sent his horses, hands, plows and hoes 
and worked out the crop in a day. His wife, Anna Miller, was a 
famous house-wife and a good physician in ordinary cases. He was 
a life-long Democrat, and died when about 70 years of age, leaving 
a bright record behind him. His son, William G. Miller, was a 
member of the House in 1S45, and was a worthy son of a noble sire. 
He went to Bastrop, Texas, to live." 

Thomas Miller was not exceedingly large, but was of a stout and 
powerful build and very muscular, and a stranger to fear. The story 
is told that on one occasion, whilst living near New Market, a man 
unfriendly to Mr. Miller, placed himself behind the front door of a 
store in New Market, and as Miller entered struck him over the head 
with a club, but failed to stagger him; nearby was an open tub of 
tar, and Miller grabbed his assailant, and with miraculous strength, 
thrust him head foremost into the tub of tar. The men present 
lifted the man from the tub and washed the tar off of him, and he 
had no further desire to molest Thomas Miller. 

The children of the first marriage of Thomas Miller and Sallie 
Adams were two, the name of one we cannot furnish: 

1. John Adams Miller; married Edna Bridges. 

2. Name unknown. 

The children of his second marriage to Anna Woods were: 

3. Woods S. Miller; married Nancy Jane Miller, daughter of 
Joseph ^Miller and Susan Kennedy, his wife. (See Sec. S.) 

4. Thomas Miller; married Caroline Douglas, of Sumner Coun- 
ty, Tennessee. Their children: 

1. Anna Miller; married Mr. Bunton, of Texas. 

2. Mary Miller. 

5. Garland Burleigh Miller, was born in 1S16. He was edu- 
cated in Richmond, Ky. He married Sarah R. Dismukes, of Sum- 
ner County, Tenn., of the fine old Revolutionary family. After 
his marriage he established his home in Fayetteville, Lincoln 
County, Tenn., where his children were born and reared. He died 
at his home in 1860, where his wife continued to live until her 
death in 18 82. She was a first cousin to the wives of Rev. Good- 



136 Histori/ and Genealogies 

loe Woods and Wm. Woods, two brothers who married sisters. 
(See Part II, Chap. 10, Sec. 8 and 11.) Their children: 

1. Sarah M. Miller, born in 1841. She married Rush Wil- 
liamson, a son of Colonel Robert Williamson, of Sumner Coun- 
ty, Tenn. Rush Williamson was a Confederate soldier under 
General N. B. Forrest, and served through the entire war, and 
received three severe wounds. Her postoffice is Pulaski, Ten- 
nessee. Their children: 

1. Robert Garland Williamson; died without issue. 

2. George Estill Williamson; died in infancy. 

3. William M. Williamson; married Sadie Neville, of 
Trinity, Alabama. His home is in La Grange, Georgia, and 
is of the firm of C. D. Smith & Co., railroad contractors, who 
build roads both North and South. Issue, one son: 

1. Rayburn Williamson; died in infancy. 

2. Thomas K. Miller, born in 184:3. He enlisted in the Con- 
federate army in the Civil War — the third enlistment in Lin- 
coln County, Tennessee. He served in the First Tennessee In- 
fantry with Colonel Peter Tanseyk, two years in Virginia, and 
was then transferred to the command of General Forest. He 
made a gallant soldier. He was captured in Tennessee in the 
fall of 1863, as one of General Forest's scouts, was tried by 
court martial and sentenced to be hanged, though he had on 
a full Confederate uniform and not a paper or plan on his 
person, still the court condemned him. His mother went im- 
mediately to Washington to try and exert some influence with 
President Lincoln in his behalf, but she failed, though she re- 
mained two weeks. His sister, Mrs. Sallie Miller Williamson, 
remained in Nashville with him, and by the assistance of some 
of her father's old friends she succeeded at the last hour in 
having him reprieved until further orders by General Thomas, 
the commanding general at Nashville. They offered him life 
and liberty if he would take the oath and pilot them through 
Lincoln County where he lived, but he firmly refused and said: 
"If I had forty lives, I would give every one before I would 
betray a friend or be a traitor to my country." At that moment, 
his sister, who loved him dearly, and he so helpless, seemingly, 
in the hands of the enemy, almost lost her patriotism. He still 
was left in close confinement. 

After a few months his mother returned to Washington City, 
and with a mother's pleading and prayers President Lincoln 
relented, and the last document President Lincoln ever signed 
was a pardon for Thomas Miller, which he was to have handed 
to his mother at 9 o'clock the next morning; but that night 
President Lincoln was assassinated, and President Johnson 
would never let Mrs. Miller have the pardon for her son, though 
she remained in Washington City three weeks longer. 

In the spring of 1865, Mrs. Williamson, sister to the con- 
demned man, went to Nashville to see Governor Brownlow. 
After entreating with him as a sister could, under such circum- 
stances, the Governor asked of the President the pardon of 
Thomas Miller without the oath of allegiance, and he gave it. 

About the time of the surrender Thomas Miller was free from 
that long, close confinement, which had almost wrecked his 
life. In the fall of that year he went to Texas and settled near 
Bastrop, and married Miss Lou Bell, of Bastrop, and engaged 
in the mercantile business in Webberville, and there in his 



J/ishin/ iiinl ( l('iii'ti/ii(/i('S l;57 

store, in 1S67, he was assaiilttd with shotguns and pistols by 
two or three of his deadly enemies and was killed, though he 
fought for liis life. He left no issue. Thomas Miller was ab- 
solutely fearless. 

3. George D. Miller, born in 1845; died in ls.J2, in the 
seventh year of his age. 

4. Garland Burleigh Miller, born in 1S47; died in 1902. He 
enlisted in the Confederate army in the fall of 18 63 with his 
brother Thomas, at the time of his enlistment being only 
fourteen years of age, and served under General Forest, and 
remained until the surrender, and made a gallant soldier. He 
married in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tenn., Mary (Mamie) 
Gardner, daughter of Dr. R. C. Gardner, formerly of the firm 
of Gardner Brothers, of Nashville, Tenn., and after the war 
of the firm of Evans, Gardner & Co., of New York. The Gard- 
ner family was one of the best of Tennessee. In the fall of 
1865 Garland Burleigh Miller went with his brother Thomas to 
Texas. He settled in Galveston and entered a strong, reliable 
business house in Galveston, doing a general commission, for- 
warding and receiving business, as clerk, in which he continued 
for several years, until he rose to be a member of the firm, 
and before his death, which occurred in February, 1902, he 
had amassed quite a fortune. In the great Galveston storm 
his financial loss was heavy. They had six children: 

1. Garland Burleigh Miller: unmarried: Treasurer of the 
Falfurrias Immigration Company, Home Office, Falfurrias, 
Texas. 

2. Richard Gardner Miller; married Martha Terrill, of 
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 25, 1905; she died recently. He is 
President of the Falfurrias State Bank. Has one child: 

1. Richard Gardner Miller, born Aug. 20, 1906; the 

mother died in October following. 

Z. William Goodloe Miller: died in infancy. 

4. Mary Gardner Miller; married, Oct. 29, 1902, E. C. 
Lasater, of Falfurrias, Texas, an enterprising young man and 
owner of a fine cattle ranch near Falfurrias, and is interested 
in the State Bank, Cotton, Gin and Ice Factory, and has 
planted an Orange Nursery, the first in the state of Texas. 
Mr. Ed C. Lasater, the founder of Falfurrias, Texas — once 
the hunting-ground of the Lepans, the most docile and peace- 
ful of the Indian tribes in the state, until driven away by the 
more ferocious and warlike Apaches and Comanches, who in 
turn were driven out by the adventurous Spaniards, who 
came over from Mexico to settle the country, subdued the 
Indians, built missions, called the land and cattle their own, 
and embarked in pastoral and agricultural pursuits in a more 
or less haphazard manner, until in due course of evolution 
these lands were acquired by the more far-seeing and thrifty 
American stockmen, who transformed the open and bound- 
less prairies into huge and limitless pastures and by scien- 
tific methods improved the Texas Longhorns by blooded 
breeds, making stock raising more profitable, and bred up 
the Texas ponies by thoroughbred horses, evolving a breed 
that retains the hardiness of the Texas bronco with all the 
qualities of standard bred horses. This section has been 
opened for settlement to the thrifty husbandman, and where 
only a few years ago, and even now, thousands of cattle are 
roaming at large, hundreds of families already have — and 



138 Hisforj/ and Genealogies 

thousands more will — within the next few years, come to 
establish prosperous and happy homes that will make this 
section flourish as but few others will be able to do. The 
owner of this vast domain, Mr. Ed C. Lasater, one of the 
cattle kings of Texas, and one of the most intelligent and 
successful breeders of cattle and horses, who knew the rich- 
ness of the soil and the health-giving properties of the cli- 
mate, long foresaw that this section was destined to become 
the garden spot of the United States. Their children: 

1. Albert Ijasater. 

2. Mary Miller Lasater, born Dec. 11, 1904. 

3. Garland Miller Lasater, born Jan. 5, 19 07.

This is our short history, and hope it is not too late to in-

thing about the name "Khleber" (spelled sometimes "Khleber" 
and sometimes "Kleber"). "I remember mother told me (as 



Uishini mid (li'iiniliKjii's 1 I 1 

I have never heard the name except the three — mother's broth- 
er, Khleber; my brother, Khleber, and his son, Klilel)er). She

very much. He was a German, educated at Munich, and joined 
Napoleon in Egypt." Next is my sister:

as I told you, is a traveling man and has toured the world, and 
did come home, but has gone again to Europe expecting to go 
over it again; is now or will be soon in London. I told him I 
would like his assistance, but his stay was so limited, and so 
many to see him, found no time to help me. Although like 
myself, can only go so far and no more.

ents moved to Alabama, taking this son with them, where he 
grew to manhood, and there married his first wife, Elizabeth 
Waddy (who had in her veins a strain of Cherokee blood), about 
the year 18 27. She only lived a few years and died in New Mar- 
ket, leaving one son. On the 14th of September, 1839, William 
Brown Miller married the second time, Minerva Barnes, of Mad- 
ison County, Ky. She died Sept. 18, 1856, in Dallas, Texas, leav- 
ing seven children. On the 2d of August, 1860, William Brown 
Miller married the third time, Mrs. Emma Dewey Miller, widow 
of M. M. Miller, of Cadiz, Ohio; unto them were born three chil- 
dren. William Brown Miller, Senior, died Jan. 4, 1899. He was

Hislori/ find frriir(ilo(/ir<i 143 

wife, Eninia Dewey Miller, only survived liiiii two iiiul a half 
months. Sh(> died March 17, 1S99. The last Mrs. Miller's pater- 
nal grandmother was a granddaughter of the famous Lord Chan- 
cellor Hyde. 

William B. Miller, Senior, emigrated to Texas in 1846 and set- 
tled in the wilderness five miles south of the present city of Dal- 
las, where he established a home, "Millermore," and a farm 
cleared — and acre after acre added, until a large domain was 
the proud possession of this pioneer of early Texas. He lived to 
the ripe old age of ninety-one years and six months and died sur- 
rounded by his family and in the arms of Uncle Arch Miller, a 
faithful ex-slave. He now lies sleeping his last sleep in the family 
burial ground of the old home. 

He left behind him the greatest of all heritages to his sons and 
daughters — a stainless name and life. The Dallas Morning News 
of Thursday, Jan. 5, 1S9 9, published in its columns the following: 

"A pioneer passes away. Death at the "Old Homestead" yes- 
terday of William B. Miller. A landmark of early times. He was 
born in Kentucky early in the century. A few leaves from the 
history of his life: 

"Mr. William B. Miller, one of the pioneers of Dallas County, 
died yesterday at the "Old Homestead," south of Oak Cliff. He 
was one of the ancient landmarks of Dallas County, was known 
as "Uncle Billy Miller," and in the days before the war owned a 
large number of slaves and a large tract of land. In fact, was a 
large land owner at the time of his death. "Uncle Billy" Miller, 
James M. Patterson, and Judge Hord, of Oak Cliff, have been 
regarded of late years as the three surviving pioneers of the 
North Texas of other days. The triumvirate was shattered yes- 
terday when Mr. Miller passed away. The following facts are 
gleaned from the "History of Dallas County," published in 1892: 

"William B. Miller, a pioneer of Dallas County ,was born in 
Madison County, Kentucky, in 1807, the second of seven children 
born to John and Mary Brown Miller, natives of Kentucky. The 
father moved to Madison County, Alabama, in 1818, and opened 
up a farm, and his death occurred in that state in 18 46. His 
wife survived him until after the war. William B. Miller was 
reared to farm life and educated in the public schools of Madison 
County, and also at the Academy of Huntsville, Alabama. He 
subsequently rented land and engaged in farming, but in the 
year 183 4 began merchandising in New Market, Ala., which he 
followed two years, when, on account of the Henry Clay Bankrupt 
Law he failed in business. He then moved to Tennessee and again 
engaged in farming for ten years, after which, in 1847, * * he 
came to Dallas County, settling in Precinct No. 4. In 1856 he 
bought 562 acres of land, but later sold seventy acres for $30 
an acre, and afterward bought two acres back, giving therefor 
$12,500. He was married in Madison County, Alabama, in 1833, 
to Elizabeth Waddy, a native of that state, whose ancestry on one 
side is traceable back to the Cherokee Indians, noblest specimen 
of their race. By this marriage there was one child, Charelaus, 
who married and settled in the Cherokee Nation in the Indian 
Territory; he was a gallant Colonel in the Confederate army from 
Texas, and was known as Crill Miller. His mother died in Ala- 
bama in 18 35, and in 1837, the subject of this sketch married 
Minerva Barnes. She died in 1856, after having five children, 
viz., Alonzo, who died in 1855; Martha, who married W. C. Leon- 
ard, of Kaufman County; Mary, who became the wife of Mr. 



144 Hisfori/ and Gmralogies 

Guess; Elizabeth, who married John Edmonson, and Susan, who 
married Dr. Ewing, of this city. In 18 50 Mr. Miller chose for 
his third wife Mrs. Madison M. Miller, of Dallas. Three children 
were the result of this marriage: Charles, J. H., and Minnie 
Miller, the latter the wife of State Senator Phil Barry Miller, of 
this city. For more than forty-five years deceased was engaged 
in farming in Dallas County, and was recognized as one of the 
leading and progressive citizens of the community. Of late years, 
owing to advanced age and feeble health, he led a quiet life, leav- 
ing the management of his farm to his children. In politics he 
was an uncompromising Democrat, and had began voting the 
ticket upward of seventy years ago. He was a Southerner of the 
old regime, and the hospitality of ante-bellum days was a feature 
of life at the "Old Homestead," which is located five miles south 
of Dallas. He lived to the ripe old age of 91 years, and died re- 
spected by all who knew him. The funeral will take place this 
afternoon from the "Old Homestead." 

The issue of his first marriage to Elizabeth Waddy: 

1. Charelaus Miller (commonly called "Crill"),was born Oct. 
16, 182 9. Young Charelaus lived with his grandmother Miller 
until his father's second marriage to Miss Minerva Barnes, 
Sept. 11, 1839. He was married to Mary E. Walker, of Searcy, 
Arkansas, about 18G1, and they reared a large family. Chare- 
laus Miller, Senior, getting a large grant of land for himself 
and children in the Indian Territory, on account of the Cher- 
okee strain on his mother's side, sold his Texas interests and 
moved to the Territory in 188 7, where he engaged in farming 
and cattle raising, and where he was residing at the time of 
his death, June 4, 1892. Each one of his children inherited 
five hundred acres of land in the Territory besides his own 
share. Mary E. Walker, his wife, died March, 1901. Charelaus 
Miller was a gallant soldier in the Confederate army during the 
Civil War, and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel

Section S. Joseph Miller, the eighth child of Colonel John 
Miller and Jane Dulaney his wife, was born May 15, 1785. He 
married Susan Kennedy, Sept. 17 1807, she was born Sei)t. 17 
17S?>. They emigrated in about the year 1816, from Madison 
County, Ky., and settled near Gallatin in Sumner County, Tenn- 
essee. The old dwelling house of General Joseph Miller, in Gal- 
latin was built of grey stone, it is even now a superb old stone 
structure though stripped of surrounding great, glorious forest, 
and cracked as it is by the Earthquake of 1812. The Federals 
cut all the trees during the war, and it looks so alone and superbly 
dreamy. All the out houses and cabins were of stone too. It is 
now- occui)ied by Samuel E. Lackey and his wife, Susan Kennedy 
Alexander, and family. 

Kleber Miller, now dead, had a hammer of General Joseph 
Miller one his father Colonel John Miller, had at the battle of York- 
town during the Revolutionary War. Another member of the 
family owned some silver spoons with the Dulaney Crest on them, 
that were brought from Ireland. 

The children of General Joseph Miller and Susan Kennedy 
his wife were: 

1. Andrew K. Miller: born Aug. 24, 1810; died Feb. 7, 1853. 
He married Elizabeth B. Halloway, Oct. IS, 1832. Mrs. Eliza- 
beth B. Halloway Miller, only passed away a few years ago. She 
was simply adored by her family. Andrew K. Miller died when 
still a rather young man, leaving three children, viz: 

1. Susan Kennedy Miller; born Sept. 2 18 34, married 
Elbridge G. Seawell, of Lebanon, Tennessee. She is now 
seventy years of age, but is capable, so alert, so cheerful 
and gifted, that she is a delight to all who know her. 

Mrs. Nannie S. Boyd, her daughter writes of this family: 
"A long law suit about property rather separated us 
from many of our Miller relations, and different tastes 
seemed to widen the breach, but I am very fond of many 
of them. For some reason our branch of the family is 
rather strenuous. The days are never long enough, and 
neither are the nights. We are great workers, like books, 
music, art and good company. The Millers are more sober 
and quiet. I do not know a professional man in the family, 
almost all are farmers, and they are men and women of 
character and force, no matter where they are, but they 
all take life seriously." 

Mr. Elbridge G. Seawell and Susan Kennedy Miller his 
wife had four children all girls viz: 

1. Elizabeth H. Seawell; who was a very charming, cul- 
tured woman. She married Dr. A. F. Claywell, of Lebanon, 
Tennessee, she died some years ago without children. 

2. Nannie Seawell; a charming and accomplished woman, 
was art teacher at Ward Seminary, Nashville, Tennessee. 
In 18 86-87 while a student of art, Mrs. Nannie Seawell 
(now Mrs. Boyd) was in Europe, as a student and there 
met Mr. Burnam of Richmond, Ky. and had some corres- 
pondence with his daughter, Miss Sallie Burnam, now- 
deceased. In 1892 she married Captain Isaac S. Boyd, of 
Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Boyd died almost three years ago, 
and it was his dearest wish that his children should have the 
best education that was possible for them. Mrs. Boyd's 
home is in Atlanta, Georgia. She is now temporarily at

S. E. Lackey's Statement. 

Montreal, November 14, 1SG4. 

"With the permission of your honor, I have only to say that 
I am a native of the Confederate States, to which Government 
I now owe allegiance. I have been thrown upon this Govern- 
ment, not designedly, but by the fortunes of war. I have vio- 
lated no law of this country, or of Great Britain, unless it be 
unlawful for a Confederate soldier, driven by the hard fate of 
war, to ask the protection of the British flag. I am a soldier 
of the Confederate States army, having been recognized as such 
by the so-called United States Government, from the fact of 
having been held as prisoner of war. Our command now being 
held as prisoners of war at Camp Douglas, Illinois, from which 
place I made my escape, through the mercenary character of 
those gallant Yankees — a people who make war for plunder, 
and are bravest when they make war upon women and children. 
I have during the captivity of my command been detailed for 
special service inside the enemy's lines under the command of 
Lieutenant Bennett H. Young. I owe no allegiance to the 
"quasi" government of the United States. Whatever that I 
may have done, it has been done under the authority of Gov- 
ernment and by the orders of its commissioned officers, prompt- 
ed by a sense of duty which I owed to my country, my gov- 
ernment, and my fellow-comrades."

Note 2: — LETTER FROM VIRGINIA. 

Massie's Mill, Va., Jan. 26, 1906. 
Mr. W. H. Miller, Richmond, Ky. 

Dear Sir — My grandfather was named James Miller. My grand- 
father had two half-brothers, named Samuel and John; he also had 
two whole brothers named Robert and Fleming. They were all 
from Albermarle County. I don't know any of the Millers that you 
speak of, but have no doubt but what we are some of the same 
family. My father's name is James Miller. I had seven uncles, viz: 
David, Christopher, Vantrump, Napoleon, Daniel, George and Robert. 
My great uncles, Robert and Fleming, went to Missouri and set- 
tled in St. Charles County. My uncles David and Christopher, also 
went to Missouri and settled near St. Joseph: the rest of my uncles 
remained in Virginia, except uncle Vantrump, who moved to Tenn- 
-esseee, about thirty years ago; and tiled there. There is a Mr. 
Robert Miller, who came from Augusta County and settled about 
two miles from Massie's Mill, Va. and I showed him your letter 
and asked him where his people came from, and he said his people 
came from Nelson and Albemarle Counties. I do not know whether 
I am related to this Mr. Robert Miller or not, but his features 



Ffisfori/ (1)1(1 (lot cii /()(/)'('>; lOo 

are very niuch like my grand-fathers, and his jjeople and mine iKJlh 
came from Xelson and Albermarle, we think we must be of same 
family. Samuel Miller and John Miller, settled in Lynchburg, Va. 
and dealt largely in tobacco and railroad stocks, and both of them 
died there, John Miller died first and was worth about $100,000, 
Samuel Miller's wealth at the time of his death was said to be about 
$400,000. 

Amherst and Xelson County Va. were both in one until the year 
1808, and were called Amherst County, and it may be that you 
could find out about your people in clerk's office at Amherst Court 
House, Va. I have your letter to clerk of Circuit Court of Nelson 
County, and if you wish I will take pleasure in sending it to the 
clerk of Amherst, who may be able to give you the information 
desired. Anything I can do to aid you in finding out what you wish 
will be done with pleasure. I have a first cousin in this place 
who has the same initials as yourself, "W. H. Miller." Please let me 
know if you wish me to send your letter to the clerk of Amherst. 

Very truly yours, 

S. N. MILLER.

CHAPTEE 15. 
DR. ALEXANDER MILLER, 



of Madison County, Ky. 

Mrs. Bessie Miller Oton, from Harriman, Tennessee, in a re- 
cent letter says: "The wrner offers this modest account of hev 
father's lineage, with regret that more is not obtainable, and the 
briefness of time allotted by publisher closes all avenues of investi- 
gation; for anv error please attribute to head, not to heart." 

B. M. O. 

Mrs. Belle Miller Reynolds, of 32 4 Wabash Avenue, Kansas City, 
Missouri, also writes: "I have enclosed you some facts concerning 
my grandfather's life which may be of use to you. His biography, 
written some years before his death, has some quaint as well as true 
statements, and will be read in coming years with even more in- 
terest than by those of today. * * * Mrs. B. M. R." 
"Dr. Alexander Miller was born in Rockingham County, Vir- 
ginia, November 2 6, 178 3, being one of 
ten children, eight boys and two girls — 
four of the boys being physicians. 

"His father, John Miller, served as an 
officer in the Revolutionary War; was 
born in Albemarle County, Virginia, 10th 
of January, 17 49, his mother being Mar- 
garet Hicklin, of the same county, who 
was born February, 1760. 

"His grandfather, Rev. Alexander Mill- 
er, a Presbyterian clergyman, was born 
in Antrim, Ireland, and a graduate of 
Edinborough University.

"" ' Orangeman, on account of religious per- 

secution, fled to France, thence to Amer- 
ica, and was an important factor in Pres- 
byterianism in the early history of the church in Virginia." 

A few lines from Dr. Alexander Miller's biography may be of 
interest to the readers of to-day: 

"I was raised in Rockingham County and State of Virginia, m 
the Valley of Virginia, one of the best portions of the State, the 
residents "were mostly descendants of Irish and Scottish parents 
attached to education, industry and morality. I never heard of a 
murder being perpetrated in the county before I left. Religious 
instruction was given principally by Presbyterians and Methodists. 
"I studied medicine in Harrisonburgh under the care of Dr. P. 
Harrison an eminent physician, a pious and very worthy man. I 
left home for Kentucky April 3, 1806. I opened shop about the 
place where Owen Walker's store is located (Richmond, Ky.) May 
15, 1806. I rented of John Burnam, and boarded with Major Robert 
Miller, and family. My large patronage from the citizens of Mad- 
ison and surrounding counties was unprecedented. 




DR. ALEXANDER MILLER 



llislitrij II ltd ( ii'iicdhiijics l(i7 

"I was married to Miss Elizabeth Barnett, only c-hild of Colonel 
James Barnett, in Oct. 1S07, and moved to Silver Creek where I 
farmed, and practiced medicine for many years aided by one of the 
best of wives and children and neighbors. We left Richmond in the 
spring of 1811. In settling on Silver Creek, we had for our neigh- 
bors and with whom we spent much of our visits in sociability and 
kind interchanges, towit: Nicholas Hawkins, William Robertson, 
Major Mitchell, Colonel William Morrison, General Andrew Ken- 
nedy, .John Moran, .James Anderson, Cai)tain Andrew Kennedy, 
Samuel Campbell, Moses Barker, Archibald Curl and all their 
families which was very numerous in neai'ly every family. These 
families were all in good circumstances, good livers, possessing 
great hospitality and high social qualities. The improvement in 
our farms and methods of farming has been very great, but it is 
to be regretted that our people are more attached to business than 
comforts with their happiness. 

"I attribute much of my success in life to a kind over-ruling 
providence who has dealt very kindly with me. I have done a great 
amount of business, have never sued a man, prefering to settle diffi- 
culties with others in business out of courts, and have often suffered 
loss in preference to litigation, as the laws of our state are not 
much to be relied on, and litigation is sure to make enemies of our 
otherwise friends." 

Dr. Miller made his home with his son, .James B. Miller during 
the last years of his life, where he died at the ripe old age of ninety- 
five years. His five children were James B. Miller, Harrison Miller, 
Mrs. Green Miller, Cyrus Miller and Dr. Fayette Miller. 

His father was prominent in the early development of Virginia, 
was regarded as an honorable man and devout christian, and reared 
his children under the puritan rules of Calvinistic doctrine. 

Mrs. Oton has several way bills of miscellaneous merchandise 
dated Philadelphia, 1810, directed to Dr. Alexander Miller and 
Co., Richmond, Ky., also the original deed of seventy-five acres of 
land in Madison County, ceded Colonel James Barnett for official 
service (in the Revolution) signed by Lieutenant Governor John 
Pope, Secretary Gabriel Slaughter, dated at Richmond, Ky., January, 
1819. The same package contains many written military orders at 
headquarters of General Washington, 1777, signed, G. W., C. C. C. 
Dr Miller's mind was superior, his manner of quiet dignity and 
natural grace marked him indeed a Virginia gentleman He was of 
Scotch-Irish descent, referring proudly to his fore bear, the Duke 
of Antrim, a brilliant Scotch-Irish barrister, whose eloquence and 
ready wit turned many a dry cause into a successful brief. Dr. 
Miller to the last retained a clear intellect and deep interest in all 
the affairs of the day. He sank to rest in the home of his beloved 
son, and daughter (in-law) Mr. and Mrs. James B. Miller in Rich- 
mond, Ky. He passed out and beyond quietly "as the mist rises 
from the brook" with no stain of dishonor upon a long and well spent 
life, and his grand children revere his memory. He was a noted 
physician in his day and generation. On one occasion he was called 
to see a patient in the vicinity of Irvine, Ky. some thirty odd miles 
from his home, through the woods; on his way some hands were 
opening a road through a gap or cut in the hills and felling trees 
out of the way: a tree falling in a manner unexpected, caught a poor 
fellow under it, and so terribly crushed a leg that his life was des- 
paired of. Dr. Miller happening along about the time of the sad 
occurrence was called to do what he could for the sufferer. He had 
the hands stretch the patient out, and with the instruments rhen in 



IfiS Hist 01'!/ and Genealogies 

use by doctors he held the arteries and tied them and properly 
dressed and bound up the wound, and told them to wait on him 
dilligently, and do all they could to save the man's life, and to the 
utter astonishment of all the patient recovered. 

Among Dr. Alexander Miller's brothers and sisters were: 
A sister, Jane; died single. 

A brother, Isaac Miller; was a farmer and died near Cadiz, 
in Trigg County, Ky. 

A brother, Josiah Miller; was an able lawyer lived at Hopkins- 
ville Ky. 

A brother, William, Miller; was a farmer near Henderson, Ky 
A brother, John Miller; was a lawyer of Hopkinsville, Ky. 
A brother James Miller; was a farmer and politican, prominent 
and much admired, was close friend and helper of Lincoln. He 
lived near Bloomington, Illinois, and was Treasurer of the state 
for a number of years.

He graduated with highest honors of the large class of 1847, at old 
Transylvania, Lexington, Ky. and was a special favorite of Dr. 
Ben Dudley, the surgeon. Dr. Miller went from Lexington to Phila- 
delphia for a post graduate course at Blockly Hospital School. He 
was married March 3, 1846, by Rev. James C. Barnes, to Miss 



170 Historij and Genealogies 

Caroline Wilson Embry (whose father, Talton Embry, was with 
Co-onel Daniel and George Boone, in the early settlement of Ken- 
tucky) a beautiful, lovely woman, whose presence to her family and 
friends was like the passing of an exquisite strain of music. 

Dr. Lafayette Miller, died in the prime of his manhood, loved 
by all classes in Jackson County, Missouri. Was surgeon in first 
company of volunteers commanded by Captain Edmund Halloway. 
He entered the Confederate service April, 1861; remained until a 
few weeks before his death 18 62. Five children were born to 
this union, viz: 

1. Elizabeth Barnett Miller; the eldest daughter, was married 
in Richmond, Ky., Oct. 3, 1867, by Rev. Burnett J. Pinkerton, in the 
presence of .Tames B. Miller and Rev. Robert L. Breck, to Thomas 
Hill Oton, or Outon of Fayette County, Ky. Bessie Miller Oton is 
an Elocutionist of the highest merit, an artiste. As early as about 
189 0, she directed her talent in the line of public reading and by her 
own efforts has made herself a great name; her recitals are per- 
fectly splendid and her listeners are completely charmed. She is also 
a writer of ability, many know her as "Gypsey" through the columns 
of the Sunny South. She is a thorough charming woman, small, 
beautiful and graceful, impulsive and warm hearted, and in her 
Southern tours was overwhelmed with attentions. The sketches 
from her pen for various papers and magazines were most kindly 
received, among them, sketches of literary work of "Laura C. 
Holloway" (author of "Ladies of White House" and other books.) 
"Leaves from the Life of a great surgeon" (Dr. Nathan Bowman 
of N. Y. formerly of Macon, Ga.) "Elocution a necessity for minis- 
ters" "Wayside Flowers" "Adrift" and "Memory Bells." She has 
been from time to time the New York correspondent for Kansas 
City Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunny South, Lexington (Ky.) 
Press, and South Western Presbyterian, New Orleans, also Christmas 
Stories for children. Has, also, been a member of faculty of 
Plumer College, Wytheville, Va., Valley Seminary and Tishburn 
Military School, Waynesburg, Va., Fauquier Institute, Warrenton, 
Va. High School, and West End Academy, Atlanta, Ga. Isabell 
College, Talladega, Alabama, besides, she has numerious private 
pupils some of whom, have risen to eminence. She has been all 
over the union. Her native state Kentucky, should know her as 
does the South. She has had a hard, tough work, unaided, but has 
succeeded in spite of all, and there is not a blot on her life. Her 
present efforts are all for humane purposes, cruelty to animals 
specially. 

Harry W. Grady's first criticism of her was "Mrs. Oton is a 
"ficile princepes" in her art, and as a woman so high bred and com- 
panionable she draws all hearts to her." Judge Hook, who was 
Supreme Judge of Georgia gave testimony beautiful and true, had 
met Mrs. Oton many times at Salt Springs, Chautauqua, Ga. In speak- 
ing of an entertainment she gave there he thus complimented her, 
"although suffering intensely, she held the rapt attention of her 
listeners, and with rapidity moved them from tears to laughter. 
Who would not be kind and appreciative of such a brave, noble and 
gifted little woman?" 

Mrs. Oton is the daughter of two of the most talented and chival- 
rous families of Virginia and Kentucky, names old in history. She 
was reared in luxury, the ideal of proud parents, but when adver- 
sity's chilling blast swept over her young life, and she was forced 
to meet it, her true and noble nature faltered not, but by unceasing 
labor, aided by a brilliant genius she stands , today unchallenged in 



II isliin/ (iinl < Iciirdhjfjii'S 1 < I 

her art, while her universal kindness to all, and refined beanty has 
made her the people's idol, from New York to Mexico, where she 
is known, and Georgia will ever be ready to welcome Mrs. Bessie 
Miller Oton's return." 

Mrs. Eugenia Dunlap Potts, in the Lexington Townscript said: 
"To say that she is a genius but feebly expresses her supreme versa- 
tility, her magnificent interpretation, her wondrous charm, when 
she recites, one loses sight of the imitative feature of her work. All 
that she does stands out as the emanation of her own brain. Viewed 
from an artist's stand-point it is an irreparable loss to the world, 
that this gifted woman is not on the dramatic stage. With the blood 
of the Blue Grass dashing in resistless current through her veins, 
the exceeding fineness of her nature, is the touch-stone to all that 
is best in her renditions. She is bewitching in every attitude, 
every line of her form breathes the poetry of motion. Every throb 
of her bewildering pulses gives out her perfect womanhood. The 
emotions whether grave or gay, majestic or grotesque, violent or 
pathetic emanate from her soul, through eye and lip, and voice and 
jesture with a fidelity that demands fullest sympathy from her 
hearers. Her voice alone with its varied cadences would give out the 
gamut of human passion were she motionless as a statue." 

From the pen of "F" of Richmond, Virginia, in the Sunny South: 
"She has made many friends at the various summer resorts she has 
visited in Virginia, and added to her popularity as a conversation- 
alist. We hope to secure her for a long time. Two of Mrs. Oton's 
scholars, whom she taught in Atlanta, Mrs. A. H. Alfriend, and her 
bright little twelve year son, Edward, also, if they are fair samples 
of her scholars, any city should be proud to be able to secure her 
services permanently. Little Edward Alfriend is a wonder, he 
bids fair in future years to deserve the sobriquet of 'The Southern 
Orator.' There are few, very few ladies in our country who have the 
gift of entertaining both with pen and tongue as Mrs. Oton has. 
Wherever she resides she will have as many friends and admirers 
as she has in her old home." 

We here quote from the Illustrated Kentuckian, Lexington. Ky. : 
"The following eloquent tribute was paid to Mrs. Bes.sie Miller 
Oton on her second appearance at Seamen's Bethel in New Orleans 
on March 9, 1893, by Rev. Thomas R. Markham, D. D. pastor of 
Lafayette Presbyterian Church and Captain General of tjie United 
Confederate Veterans: 'A dowry lavished on this fair daughter of 
Kentucky, herself a scion of that Blue Grass stock who a week ago 
from this platform charmed our eye with the graces of manner and 
our ears with the 'concourse of sweet sounds.' In the interde- 
pendences of intellect, the masters of thought, and the monarchs of 
words are large debtors to the masters of expression. Who can 
measure Shakespeare's obligation for right interpretation and pro- 
found impression to Mrs. Siddon's Garrack and Booth? And we 
who here last Friday listened as the reader "lent to the rhyme of 
the poet the beauty of her voice" entered as through a newly opened 
door into the secret chambers of Longfellow's musings over hearts 
set in tune with his, as with her beside him we "Stood on the bridge 
at midnight." Roscius and Cicero, his pupil in elocution, held trials 
of skill to test whether the orator, or the gesticulator, could the 
more clearly and effectively render a thought, and Demosthenes, in 
defining eloquence, thrice repeated the word "action." So it is with 
us then, for while eye, ear and taste paid tribute to the modulated 
tones, it was the spirit with which these were uttered, and the 
"action suited to the word," the flash of the eye and the play of 



172 Histori/ and Genpalogios 

feature, the ease of movement and the grace of form, that com- 
pleted the enchanter's spell, taking us captive at her will. But as 
words are powerless to paint the lily, and add a perfume to the 
violet, and as you are now to hear her for yourselves, and, too, 
lest I "lag superfluous on the stage," suffer in closing to say for 
myself that it has been a pleasure to know, and a privilege to hear, 
as it is an honor to introduce, one, who coming to us last week a 
stranger, is greeted by us tonight as a friend. I have the honor 
of presenting to this audience Mrs. Bessie Miller Oton." "The 
Bridge" is her most remarkable rendition. * * * This rendition 
has been given by Mrs. Oton before the author Longfellow himself, 
and with his great aiipreciation. In flowing rhythmic accents, in- 
tense with reverie and sad memory and the joyful resurrection of 
hope came the well known lines." 

From the Southern Presbyterian, 1S98: "Her naturalness of 
manner, showing in rare perfection the 'art concealing art,' her 
grace of movement, the modulated intonations of her cultivated 
voice; the versatile play of powers passing in easy transformation 
'from grave to gay,' and drawing at will from the 'spring of laugh- 
ter' or the 'fountain of tears'; her sympathetic impersonation of her 
author's thought, spirit and speech, 'the action suited to the word,' 
these varied and combined accomplishments and gifts held us with 
the spell of an enchantress, the assembly of intelligent and appre- 
ciative listeners that filled to overflowing the spacious room in which 
she achieved so signal a triumph. A pleasing episode of the even- 
ing, and a grateful surprise was the presentation to her of a laurel 
wreath, the victor's crown. This was made in well chosen words 
by Colonel Fred A. Ober. a veteran of the Army of Northern Vir- 
ginia, who had had the pleasure of introducing to the veterans of 
the Soldier's Home this daughter of a veteran of the Confederacy, 
in which he made a pleasing and touching mention of her recitals 
there, and at the Seamen's Bethel, and the Memorial Church, under 
the care of Rev. Dr. E. Forman, the pastor of her childhood in 
Kentucky, her native state. Her reply given with marked emotion, 
her heart paying its tribute through tears, that moved ours, was a 
felicitous recognition of the attention and appreciation shown her 
in a city noted for its courtesy to strangers and its hospitality to 
visitors, to which she came two months since a stranger, knowing 
no one, and only asking to be heard: but now at Darting leaving in 
it many friends, whose kindness had made her visit a pleasure that 
would live in her memory as a joy." (1898.)

Article 3. — Items Coimeetiiig the Woods Name with Events. 

(From History and Court Records.) 

In the first settlement of Kentucky tlie Woodses were in the 
tide that flowed into the same, and took active part, not only in 
the settlement, but the development and growth thereof, as their 
fathers had also aided in the development of her mother, Virginia. 
And items of interest taken from record and history are here thrown 
in exhibiting some little events relative to the name Woods. 

Section 1. John Woods was part of a company of fifteen men, 
known as Hinkson's Company, who, in March or April, 1775, came 
down the Ohio and up the Licking River in canoes in search of lands 
to improve. They landed at the mouth of Willow Creek, on the 
east side of Main Licking, four miles above the forks, where Fal- 
mouth now is, and took the route as told in Part I, Chap. 1, Sec. 1: 
The Miller Company narrative. (Collins.) 

Section 2. In 17 87, by an act of the Virginia General Assem- 
bly, Archibald Woods, of Madison County, was appointed one of 
ten trustees of the town of Boonesborough, established as a town 
by said Assembly in October, 1779. (Collins.) 

Section 3. Archibald Woods was one of the first Justices of the 
Peace and of Oyer and Terminer, in the organization of the first 
court of Madison County, being commissioned by His Excellency 
Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia, as such. (See Part I, Chap. 14) 

Section 4. Woods Narrative (Col. His. p. 477): In the year 
1781, or 2, near the Crab Orchard, in Lincoln County, a very sin- 
gular adventure occurred at the house of Mr. (Michael) Woods. One 
morning he left his family, consisting of a wife, a daughter not yet 
grown, and a lame negro man, and rode off to the station nearby, 
not expecting to return till night. Mrs. Woods being a short dis- 
tance from her cabin, was alarmed by discovering several Indians 
advancing towards it. She instantly screamed loudly in order to 
give the alarm, and ran with her utmost speed in the hope of 
reaching the house before the Indians. In this she succeeded, but 
before she could close the door the foremost Indian had forced his 
way into the house. He was instantly seized by the lame negro 
man, and after a short scuffle they both fell with violence, the negro 
underneath. Mrs. (Hannah) Woods was too busily engaged in keep- 
ing the door closed against the savages without to attend to the 
combatants, but the lame negro, holding the Indian tightly in his 
arms, called to the young girl to take the axe from under the bed 
and dispatch him by a blow on the head. She immediately attempted 
it, but the first effort was a failure; she repeated the blow and 
killed the marauder. The other savages were at the door endeav- 
oring to force it open with their tomahawks; the negro arose and 
proposed to Mrs. Woods to let in another and they would soon dis- 
pose of ^he whole of them in the same way. The cabin was but a 
short distance from the station, the occupants of which having dis- 
covered the perilous situation of the family, fired on the Indians 
and killed another, when the remainder made their escape. (See 
Chap. 6, Sec. 2.) (Collins.) 

Section 5. We here exhibit members of the Woods family who

Section 15. Historical facts concerning the arms and crest of 
the Irish branch of the ancient Woods family, taken from a copy 
furnished by ,lohn O'Hart, of No. 7 Belone Terrace, Dolly- 
mount, Dublin, Ireland, author of "Irish Pedigrees," Landed Gentry 
in Ireland, at the time of the invasion of Oliver Cromwell, copied 
from the manuscript of the 6th edition of "Irish Pedigrees," then 
being prepared for the press, and were obtained from the archives 
of Trinity College, Dublin, and the office of the Ulster King at 
Arms, Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland. 

Anns ami Crest. 

Arms — Sa, three garbs cor. crest — out of clouds a hand erect, 
holding a crown between two swords, in bend and bend sinister, 
points upward. 

The meaning of the Arms and Crest is: Out of gray clouds a 
flesh color hand perpendicular, holding a gold crown and all between 
two steel colored swords. Their significance — the sheaves of wheat 
on the arms indicate that the bearer came from a wheat-raising 
country — the crest implies a combat, a victory, and an unexpected 
reward — the tw^o swords a combat, the result a gold crown from an 
unexpected source — the hand out of a gray cloud. 

Cucult, who (see page 689, Vol. 1, 6th edition of this work) is 
No. 10?, on the O'Nealles pedigree, was the ancestor of O'Coillte 
Coin, Irish Wood, Coillte, AVoods and O'Coillege, Anglicised, Reitty, 
Guizty, Gait, W^oods and Woods. 

Thus the O'Coillte were a branch of the Mac Morough family, 
who were the Kings of Lunster up to the period of the English in- 
vasion of Ireland in the twelfth century, when the O'Coillte family 
deprived of their patrimony were scattered, some settling in Great 
Britain and others on the Continent. 

Among the officers commonly called the Forty-niners, who in 
1649 fought for Charles I and Charles II, we find five who were 
named Wood, and five who were named Woods; and the name 
Woods is among the names of the Cromwellian adventurers for land 
in Ireland in the Cromwellian period. 

The name Woods appears among the French refugees (Hugue- 
nots) who settled in England and Ireland before the reign of Louis 
XIV of France, while Henry Woods was one of the members of the 
Irish Parliament of James II in 1697. 

In Burke's "General Armory" are described the Armoriat Bear- 
ings of 9 9 of the Wood family and six of the Woods family, but all 
of them are in England. The bearings described in the foregoing 
were the ancient arms of the family in Ireland. 

On page 136 of the MS, Volume F 225, in the library of Trinity 
College, Dublin, we find that ,Iohn Woods of the County Meath 
married Elizabeth, born 15th day and baptized 17th Nov., 1656, 
daughter of Thomas Worsop, of Dunshanlin, County Meath, by his 
wife Elizabeth, who was daughter of Richard, son of William Par- 
sons of Birr, or Parsontown by said Richard's wife Lelitia, Avho 
was the daughter of Sir Adam Loftus, miles, who married Jane, 



182 History and Genealogies 

daughter of Waltei' Vaughn, of Coldengrove, was son of Sir Dudley 
Loftus, miles, by his wife Anne, daughter of Henry Bagnall, of 
Newry, miles, and said Sir Dudley was the son of Adam Loftus, 
Lord Bishop of Dublin and Lord chancellor of Ireland, who married 
Jane, daughter of T. Purdon. 

We further find that John Woods above mentioned, who married 
Elizabeth Worsop, had issue, sons and daughters. The sons and 
daughter were Michael, Andrew, William, and James, and Elizabeth, 
wife of Peter Wallace, all of whom emigrated to America in the 
beginning of the eighteenth century with the three sons of Michael — • 
William, John, and Archibald. 

From these Irish emigrants are descended the Wood, Woods 
families, now located in several of the United States, and 
all descended from Adam Loftus, Archbishop of Dublin, 
and Lord Chancellor of Ireland for Queen Elizabeth. From 
Adam Loftus the descent is, Adam Loftus married Jane Purdon, 
and among other children. Sir Dudley Loftus, miles, of Rathfran- 
ham. County Dublin, who married Anne, daughter of Henry Bag- 
nall, of Newry, miles, and had among other children. Sir Adam 
Loftus, miles, who married Jane, daughter of Walter Vaughn, of 
Coldengrove, who had among other children Letitia Loftus, who 
married Richard Parsons, son of William Parsons, of Parsontown, 
and had among other children, Elizabeth Parsons, who married 
Thomas Worsop, of Dunshanlin, County Meath, who died May 27, 
168 6, and had among his children Elizabeth Worsop, born the 15th 
day and was baptized the 17th of Nov., 16.56, who married John 
Woods, of the County Meath, and had with other children, Michael, 
Andrew, William, and James (and Elizabeth, wife of Peter Wal- 
lace). Michael Woods, eldest son of John Woods and Elizabeth 
Worsop, married Lady Mary Campbell, of the Clan Campbell Argyl- 
shire, Scotland, a near kinswoman of Archibald Duke of Argyle. 

Adam Loftus, Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ire- 
land, was born at Levinhead, in Yorkshire, in 1534. He was the 
younger of the two sons of the Rt. Rev. Edward Loftus, of Levin- 
head, temp. Henry VIII, Robert being the elder and the ancestor of 
Viscount Loftus of Ely (extinct in 17 25). The eldest son of Robert 
was Adam Loftus of Monasteraven, Queen County, who was ap- 
pointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1619, created a peer in 1622. 

The graceful deportment of Archbishop Adam Loftus at the 
Cambridge examination attracted the attention of Queen Elizabeth, 
and after his ordination in 1559 he was appointed Chaplain to Dr. 
Craik, Bishop of Kildare. Loftus was advanced rapidly in the 
church; when he was but twenty-seven he was created and conse- 
crated Archbishop of Armagh; six years later he exchanged Armagh 
for Dublin. With him a general system of education was a favorite 
project; by his influence an act was passed in 1570 directing that 
free schools should be established in the principal town of each 
diocese at the cost of the clergy. He was appointed Lord Chanellor 
of Ireland in 157.3, and was foremost in supporting and carrying 
out Queen Elizabeth's foundation of the Trinity College, of which 
he was the first provost, on the site of suppressed Monastery of All 
Hallows. He expired at the Palace of St. Supulchres, Dublin, April 
5, 16 05, and was buried in the St. Patrick's Cathedral.

CHAPTER 3. 

THE WOODS FAMILY. 

of America. 

Article 1. — The Woods Family are of Anglo-Scotch-Irisli extraction. 
The American Family sprang from one John Woods, son of an 
English Trcioper, who came to Ireland and was in the army of 
invasion of Oliver Cromwell, 1649. 

The said John Woods was born in 1654 and married about 1681, 
to Elizabeth Worsop, a daughter of Thomas Worsop and Elizabeth 
Parsons, his wife. The said Elizabeth Parsons was a daughter of 
Richard Parsons and Letitia Loftus, his wife. The said Letitia Lof- 
tus was a daughter of Sir Adam Loftus and Jane Vaughn, his wife. 
The said Sir Adam Loftus was a son of Sir Dudley Loftus. of County 
Dublin, Ireland, and his wife, Anne Bagnall. The said Sir Dudley 
Loftus was a son of Adam Loftus and Jane Purdon. his wife. The 
S'aid Adam Loftus was a son of the Right Rev. Edward Loftus, of 
Levinhead. 

The last named Adam Loftus was born in Yorkshire, England, 
in 1534, and by the promotion of Queen Elizabeth was made, when 
only twenty-seven years old. Archbishop of Armagh, and subse- 
quently Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. (See 
Chap. 1, Art. 3, Sec. 15.) 

Five of the children of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop, his 
wife — four brothers and one widowed sister and the wives of such 
as were married, and the children who had then been born to them 
in Ireland, near the close of the first quarter of the eighteenth cen- 
tury emigrated from the north of Ireland to America and settled in 
the Colony of Pennsylvania, some of them a little later on moving 
to the Colony of Virginia and locating themselves near the base of 
the Blue Ridge, as shown in Chapter 3, Part II. 

These five children of John W'oods and Elizabeth W^orsop are the 
basis of the Woods and Wallace families of America noticed in 
this book. 

The Woodses were very prolific, hardy, adventurous and re- 
sourceful, they not only aided in the settlement and development of 
Virginia, but in that of Kentucky and Missouri, and were conspic- 
uous figures and took action in the great Revolutionary struggle 
for American independence — not only the Woods name, but the 
blood coursing in the veins of others wearing other names, in no 
small measure increased the strength of the Revolution. 

In all the generations from long before the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence, down through the years to the present there have been 



184 llistunj and Genealogies 

patriots among them. In the war of 1812, in the Indian wars, in 
the Mexican War, in the Civil War that resulted in the freedom of 
the negro, and in the Spanish-American War, they performed 
some part. 

We had data tracing the lineage of our immediate family back 
to John Woods, 'son of the English Trooper and Elizabeth Worsop, 
his wife, but of the numerous collateral branches forming since the 
immigration to America down to the present, much was wanting, 
and the Woods-McAfee Memorial, by Rev. Neander M. Woods has 
furnished much information that was lacking (made use of by his 
kind, generous and unlimited courtesy). The Rev. Neander M. 
W^oods performed well a very hard and worthy task, for which he 
should be praised by the descendants of the Woods and Wallace 
emigrants from Ireland. 

As the Miller, Woods, Harris, Wallace, Maupin, Kavanaugh, Old- 
ham, and Brown families are connected by numerous inter-mar- 
riages, it is attempted in the coming chapters to give only a brief 
sketch of the descendants of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop; 
not that it is expected at all to improve upon the work of the Rev. 
Neander M. Woods, for nothing of the kind is hoped for, as he has 
performed well his part, although in a work of the kind there will 
unavoidably occur some errors, but only this: as the families afore- 
named have so intermarried as in a sense to form one family, an 
account of one is very incomplete without the other, and to simply 
have the records of these several families condensed into one con- 
nected volume for the benefit and pleasure of the family is the aim. 

Perfection for this work is not claimed; it is only hoped that 
the imperfections shall not utterly destroy the object and the friends 
hereof should pardon all imperfections. 

In spelling the name, some families have dropped the "s" and 
spell it "Wood."

CHAPTEl? 4. 
MICHAEL WOODS. 

From Ireland to Albermarle County, Virginia, later called Michael 

Woods, of Blair Park. 

(Named in Chapter 3, Section 2.) 

Article 1. — Michael Woods, son of Joliii Woods, and Elizabeth 
Wor^cp, his wife, after his death known as IMichael Woods, of 
Blair I'ark, was born in the North of lr<>land, in abont IGT.l to 
1684. 

In about the year 1704 or 5, he married Mary Campbell, of the 
Scottish Clan, Campbell of Argylshire, Scotland. He died in 1762. 
His wife died probably about 17 42. His will bears the date Nov. 
24, 1761, probated in the Albermarle, (Va.) County Court, at the 
June Term 17 62. 

Near the close of the first quarter of the Eighteenth century, he 
with his wife and children, and his widowed sister Elizabeth W'all- 
ace, and her children and his brothers, James, William and Andrew 
Woods, emigrated to America. Their first stop was probably in 
Pennsylvania, where he remanied a while and then moved with his 
family into Virginia, and settled at the Eastern base of the Blue 
Ridge, in what was then Goochland, now Albermarle County, just 
at the Gap in the mountain called "Woods Gap" and in after years 
"Jarman's Gap." 

Michael Woods, senior, and his son-in-law, William Wallace, in 
17 37, secured grants for more than 13 00 acres of land on Licking- 
hole, Mechum's River and Beaver Creek, embracing the present 
Mechum's depot, and Blair Park, (the old Woods homestead,) and 
at the same time Michael Woods, senior, purchased the 2000 acre 
patent of Charles Hudson on Ivy Creek. The first Presbyterian 



18(i Histori/ and Genealogies 

Church, was Mountain Plains, bulit near the confluence of Licking- 
hole Creek, and Medium's River, and named for and after Michael 
Woods 'plantation', and same still exists, having been converted in 
some way into a Baptist Church. 

When these people came to America they landed on the banks 
of the Delaware, spent some years in Lancaster County, Pennsyl- 
vania, and thence ascended the valley of Virginia and crossed the 
Biue Ridge by Woods Gap, in 1734, and Michael Woods was, it is 
believed tihe first settler in Western Albermarle, and perhaps any 
where, along the East foot of the Blue Ridge in Virginia. His home 
was near the mouth of Woods Gap, for a long while has been known 
as Blair Park, but originalfy known as Mountain Plains. There 
he spent the rest of his life, which ended in 1762, his remains were 
buried about 100 yards from his dwelling. He is remembered now 
as Michael Woods of Blair Creek. He and his sons, and sons-in-law 
had as friends and neigbors, such noted persons as Colonel Peter 
Jefferson, surveyor and County or Lord Lieutenant of Albermarle 
County, his son, the statesman, Thomas Jefferson, author of the 
Declaration of Independence, and third President of the United 
States, Randolph Jefferson, General Lewis, James Munroe, fifth 
President of the United States, who bore witness to many legal 
documents for Michael Woods.

words and figures: "George the second, by the Grace of God, of

C'HAPTEE 5. 
MAGDALENE WOODS. 

(Named in Chap. 4, Sec. 1.) 

Article 1. — Magdalene Woods, a daughter of ^lichael Woods, Senior, 
of Blair Park, and :Mary Campbell, his wife, was bom in 1706, 
and died in 1810. 

She married first Captain John McDowell, who fell in battle with 
the Shawanee Indians at Balcony Falls, where North River comes 
into the James, in 1743, she married secondly, Benjamin Borden Jr., 
whom she survived, and married the third time Colonel John Bowyer. 

From Waddell's annals of Auguta County, Virginia, page 37: 
"On the 28th of Feb. 1739, John McDowell, who settled in Borden's 
Grant, made oath at Orange Court 'that he imported himself, Magda- 
line, his wife, and Samuel McDowell, his son, and John Rutter, his 
servant, at his own charge from Great Britian in the year 1737, to 
dwell in this colony, and that this is the first time of proving their 
rights in order to obtain land pursuant to the royal instructions." 

Waddell further says, "Captain John McDowell, was a prominent 
Captain of a military force of Auguta County, in 1742. Ephraim 
McDowell, then an old man, was a member of his son John's com- 
pany. All grown men were enrolled without respect to age. 

"Capt. John McDowell did not long enjoy the honor and perform 
the duties of his office. He and seven of his men were killed in a 
fight with Indians on Dec. 14, 1742, on North River near Balcony 
Falls, within the present County of Rock bridge. A letter from 
Judge Samuel McDowell, son of Capt. McDowell, written to Colonel 
Arthur Campbell in 180S, gives a somewhat detailed account of 
this first conflict of whites with Indians. Judge McDowell states 
that about the first of Dec. 1742, a party of thirty three Delaware 
Indians came into the settlement in Borden's Grant, saying they 
were on their way to assail the Catawba tribe, with which they 
were at war. They professed friendship for the whites, and were 
entertained for a day by Captain McDowell, who treated them 
with whiskey." 

"From McDowell's they went down the south branch of North 
River and encamped seven or eight days. They hunted, went to the 
homes of white people, scaring women and children, taking what 
they wanted, and shot horses running at large. Complaint being 
made to Colonel Patton, the County Lieutenant, he ordered Captain 
McDowell to call out his company and conduct the Indians beyond 
the white settlement. The company consisted of thirty three or 
four men, and embraced all the settlers in what is now Rockbridge 
County. In the mean while the Indians moved their camp further 
south. The company of white men thirty three in number overtook 
the Indians ^and accompanied them beyond Peter Sailings, then the 
furthest white settlement. About one-half of the company were 
horseback, and the remainder on foot. One of the Indians was 
lame, and fell behind, all the whites passing him except one. The 
lame Indian left the path and went into the woods, and the white 
man who was in the rear fired his gun at him. Immediately the 
Indians raised the war-whoop and the fight began. As stated, the 



llklonj (tml (li'iK'dloyics- IM) 

Captain and seven of his men were killed. For a time the result 
was doubtful, but finally the Indians gave way, leaving seventeen 
of their men dead on the ground. The survivors took to the Blue 
Ridge, and pursued it till they reached the Potomac River. Several 
who were wounded died on the way and it was learned that only 
ten of them reached their home in Pennsylvania. The people of 
the settlement gathered on the field of slaughter and says Foote 
"took the men (eight) bloody corpses, on horse back and laid them 
side by side near McDowell's dwelling while they prepared their 
graves in overwhelming sorrow." 

"John McDowell's .grave may still be found in the family bury- 
ing ground near Timber Ridge Church, marked by a rough stone."

WILLIAM WOODS. 

(Named in Chap. 4, Sec. 11.) 

Article 1. — William Woods, a son of Michael Woods, senior, of Blair 
Park and Mary C^anipbell his wife, was born at Castle Dunshang- 
lin, Ireland, in 1705. 

He emigrated to America with his father. He was a Lieutenant 
in the frontier Indian wars, in 175 8, from Albermarle County, Va. 
and was active in the Colonial wars, holding the rank of Colonel. 

His home was in Fincastle County, Va., where he died , leaving 

his last will and testament, bearing date . At that time Fin- 
castle County, embraced a very large territory. He married Susan- 
nah Wallace, a daughter of Peter Wallace, Sr. (who died in Ireland) 
and Elizabeth Woods, his wife (who when a widow emigrated to 
America, and died in Rockbridge County, Va. ) (See Part Iv. Chap. 1.) 

The children of William Woods, and Susannah Wallace, his 
wife: 

Section 1. Adam Woods: married Anna Kavanaugh, according 
to some biographers. See Chapter 7 for further account, and Part 
Vii, Chap. 11, Sec. V. 

Section 2. Michael Woods, born perhaps about 1746. He mar- 
ried Hannah Wallace, a daughter of Andrew Wallace, and Margaret 
Woods, his wife. See Part IV, Chap. 3, Sec. 6.) In about the 
year 1780, he emigrated with his family to Kentucky, and first 
stopped at Crab Orchard Station, where he was living in 1781-2, when 
the incident or adventure occured at his house as narrated in Col- 
lins History of Kentucky, (See Item 4, of Chap. 1) and also des- 
cribed by the Tattler further on in this chapter. He afterwards 
moved to Madison County, Kentucky, and entered, surveyed, and pat- 
ented 1000 acres of land in Madison County, on Muddy Creek, adjoin- 
ing of James Bridges settlement and pre-emption claim on the lower 
side. On the 2.5th of Jan. 1822, he and his wife, being both dead, 
his heirs, namely: William Woods, and Ruth his wife, James Hutton 
and Hannah his wife, late Hannah Woods, James Woods, David 
Chevis and Polly, his wife, late Polly Logan (late Polly Woods), Sal- 
lie Smith, late Sallie Woods, and her husband, Thomas Smith, John 
Woods and Polly his wife, Adam Woods and Nancy his wife. Andrew 
Wallace Woods and Margaret, his wife, united in a deed, conveying 
to William Black, assignee of William Tinchner, 3 00 acres, part of 
the 1000 acres survey and patent aforesaid, except 30 acres, thereto- 
fore conveyed to Samuel Tinchner. See statement of the Tattler 
under subdiv- 3-1, of this section. The children of Michael Woods, 
and Hannah Wallace, his wife: 

1. William Woods; married Ruth Rinkead, Aug. 1, 1792.

Thomas, July 2, 1812, in Madison County, Ky., and second to 



History and Genealogies 195 

Susan March. There was no issue of the second marriage. His 
home was near Milford or old town, on land, owned in his life 
time by the late Major .Tohn D. Harris, where he lived until his 
death. May, 13, 1845, leaving a last will and testament, bearing 
date, March 9, 1844, probated June 2, 1845. The children of 
the first marriage: 

1. Elizabeth Woods, born April 2.3, 1813, near Milford. or 
old town, in Madison County, Ky. She married Edward C. 
Boggs, Sept. 19, 1833. Their home was on the Big Hill Road, 
near the south eastern limits of the city of Richmond, Ky. where 
they died. The Tattler, of one of the Richmond papers pro- 
duced the lollowing: "Mrs. Elizabeth Woods Boggs, who was 
liorn April 23, 1813, about one mile from Milford, the first 
County seat of Madison County, is now living (since deceased) 
at the ripe age of seventy one, with her son, J. H. Boggs, about 
one mile east of Richmond. Mrs. Boggs' great uncle. Archibald 
Woods, among the first represenatives from this County in 
the Legislature, was sheriff in 1798, at the time of the County 
seat and Court House trouble, and removed the records from 
Milford to Richmond before the Anti-removal men arrived at 
the scene. Her grandfather, Michael Woods, and her grand- 
mother, whose maiden name was Hannah Wallace, were natives 
of Ireland, but having moved to Scotland, about the middle of 
the last century, emigrated from there to Virginia in about 1775 
and there her father, John Woods, was born, in 1777. (These 
dates are erroneous, Michael Woods, father came to 'America 
at a much earlier date. Michael was born in America, colony 
of Va. ) He was next to the youngest of four sons, William 
and Adam older, and Andrew, younger than himself, besides 
the four boys there were five girls in the family of Michael 
Woods when he removed from Virginia to Kentucky, in about 
17 80, and settled at Crab Orchard Station, and lived there at 
the Fort with other settlers. He was in all the seiges and fights 
at Crab Orchard Station, and frequently took part in the scouts 
and pursuits of the Indians to recover stolen property. He 
afterwards moved to his place near Milford or Old Town, on 
land now owned by Major Jno. D. Hari'is where he died. John 
Woods bought out the other heirs and lived there until his 
death. May 13, 184 5. 

William Woods, is described as being stout, over six feet 
tall and with red hair. He was a bold and fearless man, and 
continually in fights with the Indians, but seems to have been 
discreet enough, and never fool-hardy. At one time he was 
returning on horse back, from a hunt, when suddenly he found 
that the Indians were all around him, except on the side 
towards a ravine, having a fleet horse he considered that dis- 
cretion was the better part of valor, so he made him jump the 
ravine and thus escaped. 

Folly Woods, one of the girls of this family married Sam 
Logan, who was the first tanner ever in Richmond. (One Sam 
Logan, on he 18th of Oct. 1799, married Peggy Briscoe, a daugh- 
ter of Captain Wiliam Briscoe, and Elizabeth Wallace his wife 
of near Richmond, Ky. (See Part Iv, Chap IS, Sec. 1.) And 
Mrs. Boggs has many times heard her father tell the true story 
of an incident related in Collins History. One night, most 
likely in the spring of 1782, the Indians made a raid on the 
Station at Crab Orchard and stole all the horses. The next day 
all the men in and about the fort went in pursuit, leaving only 



196 History and Genealogies 

a negro with a lame hand at Mr. Woods cabin and a white man 
siclv in another cabin close by. The children had been going 
to and from the spring all morning and had noticed nothing 
suspicious, except their sagacious dog would walk slowly in 
the spring path and look towards the spring and growl, but 
never bark. Towards dinner time, Polly Woods, then seventeen 
years old, had gone with her little brother, John to a knoll, 
not far from the house to gather salad, and the negro man, was 
in the yard playing on a buffalo robe with little Betsy Woods, 
suddenly, Polly saw a huge Indian stealing up the spring path 
with his body bent, and on tiptoe leading a band of warriors, 
and she at once gave the alarm, at the top of her voice. The 
negro ran to the house in an instant to shut the door, but the 
Indian leader rushed in the door at the same time and there 
they clinched in a tremendous struggle, the negro being as 
good a wrestler as the Indian. During the scuffle at the door, 
little Betsy though only three years old, slipped in between 
them, in a minute or two they had gotten inside and Mrs. 
Woods, the mother of the family had secured the door. In 
one corner stood a rifle and the struggle was for the gun, the 
Indian forgetting to use his knife and tomahawk, which hung 
in his belt, but jabbering all the time to his companions out 
side who were trying to break down the door with their war 
clubs. Mrs. Woods ran for a knife near by, but seeing it was of 
no use seized the broad axe and hewed the Indian down. Utterly 
cutting him to pieces before they could stop her. Meanwhile 
Polly had rushed with her little brother to the house of the 
sick neighbor, who though hardly able to move, seized his rifle 
and shot one of the Indians out side. The savages then beat 
a hasty retreat, taking the dead body of their comrade with them. 
They had been concealed near the spring, and seized their oppor- 
tunity to slaughter the family, but failed. By the continual 
practice the sagacity of the lower animals in the old days was 
almost perfectly developed. The intelligent dog mentioned 
above was a very valuable animal. On one occasion William 
Woods with his twelve-year-old brother John, had gone to the 
salt works on Goose Creek, for salt, accompanied by this dog, 
on their return they had stopped for the night and had lighted 
a fire when this old dog looked back in the direction they had 
come and growled, but knew better than to bark knowing 
that Indians were about, William scattered the fire and came to 
the station, that night before stopping. A day or two after 
several men were killed in the same place by Indians. 

Mrs. Boggs had in her possession a box made of lignumvitae 
which belonged to her great grand father in Ireland, and was 
brought to America by her grand father when he came to Va. 
It is supposed to be two hundred years old. The children of 
Elizabeth Woods, and Edward C. Boggs: 

1. James Howard Boggs, was born in Madison County, 
Kv. at his parents home. He was one of General John H. 
Morgan's raiders during the Civil War, Co. F. 7, afterwards 
the 11 Ky. Cavalry, (Col. D. Waller Chenault), was in the 
famous Ohio raid where he was captured, and made his escape 
from Camp Douglas. It was almost next to impossible to 
hold him a prisoner, his cunning and shrewd sagacity and 
determination worked to that end. He married Mary C. 
Pigg, a daughter of Johnson Pigg, and lived in Madison 
County, Ky. and after his father's death, owned and occu- 



llislunj iind iletivalogics 197 

pied his fathers old home, until several years ago, he sold 
out and moved to near Nicholasville in Jessamine County, 
Ky. where he now owns a farm and is a breeder of Black 
Poll Cattle, South dow-n sheep, and Angora goats.

7. Adam Woods: married Nancy Hancock, March 18, 1802. 

8. Andrew Wallace Woods: married Margaret . 

9. Betsy Woods, mentioned by the Tattler, but who was prob- 
ably dead in 18 22, when Michael Woods heirs joined in the deed 
to William Black, assignee of William Tinchner, for her name is 
silent in the deed, or the latter was probably mistaken in the 
staement that the child was named Betsy. (One Elizabeth Woods 
married Talton Taylor, Feb. 4, 1802 and one Elizabeth Woods 
married James Moberly, Sept. 28, 1816.) 

Section 3. Peter Woods, 1762, came from Virginia to Madison 
County, Ky.. with his wife, Jael Kavanaugh, a daughter of Charles 
Kavanaugh, senior, (who died in Madison County, Ky. in 1796) and 
An his w^ife, he was one of the executors of his father-in-law's will. 
He was a pioneer Baptist preacher, and lived for a number of years 
in Madison County, Ky. where he solemnized a great number of 
marriages and in about the year 1808, went to Tennessee, where he 
remained until about 1819, and removed to Cooper County, Miss- 
ouri, where he died in 1825, leaving many descendants. On Aug. 23, 
178 6, one Peter Woods was recommended by the Madison County, 
Ky., Court, to the Governor, as a proper person to be commissioned 
Lieutenant of milita in Madison County. (See Part Vii. Chap. XIv.) 

Section 4. John Woods, was a soldier in the Indian wars, and 
in the Revolutionary army. He married Abigail Estill, a daughter 
of Captain James Estill, and Mary Ann his wife. He came from 
Virginia to Madison County, Ky. in the early pioneer days, and in 
17S4, he in company with Samuel Estill, Azariah Martin, William 
Kavanaugh and others went in pursuit of Indians near the mouth 
of Station Camp Creek and the Little Picture Lick, described by 
Azariah Martin in his deposition. About the year 1808, he moved 
with his family to Tennessee, where he died in 1815. Mary Ann 
Estill's will mentions her children, Samuel, Wallace, William, Isaac, 
Abigail wife of John Woods, and the will is witnessed by Peter 
Woods and Susannah Shelton. 

Section 5. Andrew Woods, born 1747, married Hannah Reid, of 
Virginia, but they had no children, so said. In the early pioneer 
days he came to Madison County, Ky., where he lived till about the 
year 1808, when he moved to Tennessee where he died in 1815. He 
was also a Baptist minister. Madison County Court Order:

CHAPTET? Si 
ARCHIBALD WOODS. 

(Named in Sec. 6, Chap. 6, Part II.) 

Article 1. — Archibald AV'oods, a son of AVilliani Woods, and Snsan-

Jan. 29, 1740, he married Aug. 5, 1773, to ^louvning Sheltou, a 
daughter vi William Sheltctn and Tjuey Harris, his wife. She was 
born in 175G, and died Sept. 7, 1817. (Se*- Part III, Chai>. 8, 
Sec. 6-1.) 

Extract from Hon. John D. Goodloe's Publication: 
"The aforesaid Archibald Woods, son of William Woods, and 
Susannah Wallace Woods, was born in what is now Alberniarle 
County, Va. on Jan. 29, 1749, and married Aug. 5, 177.",, (o Mourning 
Shelton, daughter of William Shelton, and Lucy Harris Shelton, she 
being a daughter of Major Robert Harris and Mourning Glenn Harris. 
In 1774, Archibald Woods, moved to Monroe County, Va. from 
Montgomery County, Va. He entered the military service of the 
Colonial Government as Captain of Virginia militia, and at once set 
out from what is now Munroe County, Va., under Col. Russell, on a 
march of 2 00 miles to the relief of Fort Watauga. This expedition 
lasted about six weeks, and the return march was hastened by an 
express bringing the intelligence that the Shawnee Indians had com- 
menced hostilities. On reaching home he found the people forted, 
and he was placed in command of the fort and local defenses, until 
spring. After this except, during intervals of inclement winter 
weather, he was almost constantly employed in the frontier defen- 
ses, first under Colonel Samuel Lewis, and then under Colonel 



200 Historji and Genealogies 

Andrew Donnelly, and lastly under Colonel James Henderson, 
until after the surrender of Cornwallis in 1781. He then surrendered 
his commission as Captain of Virginia militia to the Greenbriar Coun- 
ty Court and never saw it afterwards. He first came to Kentucky in 
1781. He returned to Virginia in Feb., 1782, and removed with his 
family to Estill Station, Madison County, Ky., in the fall of that year. 
The next year, 17 83, he made his first Kentucky crop, on Pumpkin 
Run, where he had contracted with Col. Estill for 400 acres of land, 
including a spring represented to be ever lasting, but the spring 
going dry that year, the contract with Colonel Estill was canceled, 
and in Jan. 1784, he bought land on Dreaming Creek, a few miles 
north of the present site of Richmond, where he built Woods Fort, 
and there Hved between 2 5 and 26 years. The first land he bought 
In Madison County, Ky. is described by him in a deposition as 
"1000 acres of as good land as any in the Estill Station survey," 
and "the price paid for it was a rifle gun." 

The original commission of Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia, 
appointing him with nine others "Gentlemen Justices of the Peace 
for Madison County, Ky., to take effect Aug. 1, 1785, the natal day 
of the County is still preserved, was in the possession of Judge 
William Chenault of Richmond, Ky. now deceased. The same doc- 
ument, also appoints the same persons, "Gentlemen Commissioners 
of Oyer and Terminer" with full jurisdiction to try and punish 
slaves for all penal and criminal offenses, including the infliction 
of capital punishment. 

He was still a magistrate in 179 8, and as such voted for the 
removal of the County seat from Old Town, (Milford) and presided 
at the Court that established and named the town of Richmond 
making it the County seat, and became one of its first trustees. 
He was appointed sheriff of Madison County May 4, 1801. After a 
long litigation and possession of a quarter of a century, he was 
finally evicted of his home and land on Dreaming Creek in a suit 
brought by one Patrick, and being disgusted with the land laws of 
Kentucky that in the afternoon of his life took from him his home 
and bulk of his estate on a mere technicality, he moved with his fam- 
ily, in the fall of 1809, to Williamson County, on Beans Creek, Mid- 
dle Tennessee. In that state his wife, Mourning Woods, died Sept. 
7, 1817, aged 61 years and 8 months. 

On Jan. 30, 1818, he married Dorcas Henderson, and lived for 
a time in Franklin County, Tenn. This marriage proved to be 
a very unhappy one. and a separation having occured he returned 
to Madison County, Ky., in 1820. 

In Jan 1833, being then a feeble old man of 84 years and well 
nigh stripped of his property, he filed an application at Washing- 
ton for a pension for military services in the war of independence, 
and was promptly granted a pension of $480 per annum, to date 
from March 4, 1831. But for the affidavits of himself and witnesses 
then living in this application and the pension no ))roof could be 
had of his military service except the Virginia military land warrant. 

He died Dec. 17, 1836, at the age of 89 years, 10 months and 
17 days, at the residence of his son, Archibald, Fort Estill Madison 
County. Ky.: his will bears date March 17, 183 6, probated June 2, 
1837. The remains of himself and his first wife. Mourning Shelton, 
were interred in the family burying ground about two miles northeast 
of Richmond, not far from the residence on Otter Creek, now owned 
and occupied by Jeptha Chenault, but were subsequently many years 
ago removed and re-interred in the Richmond Cemetery, where they 
now rest.

The Reid Family. 

In the first part of the seventeenth century, Samuel Reid came 
from Scotland to America and settled in Pennsylvania. He enlisted 
as a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, in which he faithfully served 
until peace was declared, and America was freed from the yoke of 
England. After the war he settled in the Valley of Virginia, in 
probably Xelson County. Many of his descendants now live in Vir- 
ginia, Kentucky, Georgia, and other states of the Union. 

In the Revolutionary Army Nathan Reid was Captain of a 
Company of the 14th Va. Regiment, commanded by Colonel Charles 
Lewis of Albermarle. In 1778 this company was designated as 
Captain Nathan Reid's company of the 10th Va. Regiment command- 
ed by Colonel William Davies. In May, 1779, the 1st and 10th Va. 
Regiments were consolidated and this com])any was called Captain 
Nathan Reid's and Lieutenant Colonel Hopkins' Company, 10th Va. 
Regiment commanded by Colonel William Davies and some times 
referred to as the 1st and 10th. 

.lohn Reid: married Mary Woods as set forth in Chapter 21. 

Samuel Reid; married Suity Woods, as set forth in the beginning 
of this chapter XXIX. and Jonathan (or Jno. N.) Reid married 
Anna Woods, as set forth in chapter XLVIII. 

Notes: — The prevailing impression in our mind has been that 
Captain Nathan Reid, John Reid, Samuel Reid, and Jonathan Reid 
w^ere brothers, having been so told years ago by one who professed 
to know, but who is long since dead (the venerable Robert Harris, 
of Drowning Creek, Madison County, Ky., who lived to be 9 6 years 
old). There were probably other brothers and sisters. They prob- 
ably had a brother Alexander Reid. Andrew Reid died in Alber- 
marle in 1751, and James Reid died in 179 0.

CHAPTER 48. 

ANNA WOODS. 

(Named in Chap. 19, Sec. 6.) 

Article 1. — Anna Woods, a daughter of Colonel John Woods of Albe- 
marle and Susannah xlnderson his wife, was born in Albemarle 
County, Va., whei-e she was married to John N. (or Jonathan) 
Reid, of Nelson County, Va., about the year 1788, (See Chap. 
19, Sec. 6, and Cliap. 29, Sec. 3.) 

It is set forth in tlie Woods — -McAfee memorial that she sur- 
vived her husband, and married her cousin, William Woods. (See 
Chap. 12.) It is believed she came to Madison County, Ky., where 
she died Aug. 9, 1805. 

One John Reid and his wife, Anna Reid were members of the 
Viney Fork church, which was organized in 1797, but they were 
another couple. It is known that some of her children lived in and 
were married in Madison County, Ky., as shown below. 

There is a record in the Clerk's office of the Madison County 
Court, of a power of Attorney, bearing date Mch. 2, 1819 from Alex- 
ander Reid and James Reid of the city of Richmond, Va., appointing 
Andrew Wallace of Richmond, Ky., their attorney in fact to inves- 
tigate, sue out, or compromise, or do any other lawful act, in ascer- 
taining their rights and title to all lands in the state of Kentucky to 
which they are, or may be entitled as heirs of "John N. Reid" for 
Jonathan Reid, deceased, both being of the County of Nelson, (for- 
merly Amherst) and state of Virginia conjointly with the other heirs 
of said descendents. It seems that Anna Woods husband, John N. 
Reid, was a native of Nelson County, formerly Amherst County, 
Va., and an heir of Alexander Reid deceased, but the relation is 
not very explicitly stated in the power of Attorney. The name was 
written "John N." for "Jonathan." The children of Anna Woods, 
and John N. Reid, or Jonathan Reid, were: 

Section 1. Alexander Reid, who it seems was in the year 1819, 
a resident of the city of Richmond, Va., and joined with his brother 
James in the power of Attorney to his brother-in-law, Andrew Wal- 
lace of Richmond, Ky. above named. He was born Jan. 22 1789. 

Section 2. Susannah Anderson Reid, born Dec. 27, 1787, she 
married in Madison County, Ky., Benjamin Moberly, Oct. 4, 1808, 
whom she survived, and on the 30th day of Oct. 1826, she married 
again in Madison County, Ky., William Oldham, son of Richard 
Oldham of Estill County, Ky., and Ann Pepper his wife. (See Part 
VI, Chap. 11.) Said William Oldham was born April 23, 1777, and 
died Sept. 2 6, 1849, she was his second wife, and he was her second 
husband. She died May 13, 1851. Children of her first marriage: 

1. Susannah Moberley. 

2. Polly Moberley. 

3. Jane Reid Moberley; married John R. Oldham. (See Part 
VI, Chap. 37.) 

4. Thomas Jenkins Moberley, went to Missouri and settled in 
Jackson County. 

5. John Reid Moberley. (the eldest) He went to Missouri, and 



Jlisfiiri/ nil (J (lcnc(i/(j(/i('s 249 

settled in Jackson County, where he married and had 

two sons: 

1. John Moberley. 

2. Moberley. 

6. Ann Moberley; married Adam Hill in Madison County, Ky., 
Aug. 14, 1828, they afterwards emigrated to Missouri, and in Miss- 
ouri, one of her daughters Roena Hill, married a man by the 
name of Ralston, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralston, towit: 
Annie Ralston, married Fi-ank James the famous Missouri bandit, 
and whose son is a lawyer of Kansas City. 
For children of the second marriage of Susannah Anderson Reid 
Moberley and William Oldham, see Part VI, Chap. 11. 

Section ;!. John Woods Reid, born June 10, 119?,: died Oct. 
11, 1799. 

Section 4. Jane Reid, born Dec. 9, 1794; she married Andrew 
Wallace in Madison County, Ky. Oct. 5, 1813. She died April 14, 
1863. (See Part IV, Chap. 7, Sec. 6, and Chap. 8.) 

Section 5. James Reid, born Oct. 29, 179 6. It seems that in 
the year 1819, he was a resident of the city of Richmond, Va., and 
joined with his brother Alexander Reid in the power of attorney to 
his brother-in-law, Andrew Wallace, of Richmond, Ky., above men- 
tioned. He died in the South Oct. 9, 1S37. 

Section 6. Anna Woods Reid, born Sept. 12, 1799, died — .

to Rupiiort the established ehuvch, and her clergy and the glebes, and

One of his meetings in Culpeper was invaded by a band of oppo- 
sers, headed by Captain Ball, to prevent his preaching bringing on 
a scuffle and tumult, closing the meeting in confusion. On another 
occasion while preaching at Ft. Mayo, he was summarily interrup- 
ted and outrageously accosted. These were turbulent times in old

and illiterate set," "poor and contemptible class," "schismatics" 
"false prophets," "wolves in sheeps clothing," "perverters of good 
order" "callers of unlawful assamblics," for the purpose of cast- 
ing odium upon tliem, but they patiently endured all, and stood 
firm in the Lord, suffering persecutions, imprisonments, and fines for 
conscience sake, and trusting in the salvation of the Lord, fought, 
bravely for civil, as well as religious liberty, contesting every step 
of ground, which \vas most gloriously won. No other religious so- 
ciety stood so firm and unrelenting", in the struggle as did the Bap- 
tists, conspicious among whom was Samuel Harris, the subject of 
this sketch.

(wife Jennie Warren) and Foster Harris, (wife Sallie Manning) and 
others. (See notes.) All came to Kentucky prior to 1790 (some of 
whom were here several years before said date) from their old Vir- 
ginia homes, and travelled the wilderness road. Some of them mar- 
ried in Kentucky; one married in Madison County, Ky. 

Note — ^Since the above was written we are indebted to Mrs. 
Cassius M. Clay, of Paris, Ky., for the following additional facst: 

"Major Robert Harris was a member of the Virginia House oT 
Burgesses from Hanover County, 173 6-17 3 8, 1740-1742, and Justice- 
of the Peace of Louisa County in 1742, and Surveyor in 1744. 

"His wife, Mary Rice nee Claiborne, was a daughter of Sec- 
retary William Claiborne who came to Virginia with George Wyant 
in 1621. William Claiborne was born in 1587, and died in 1676, 
he married Elizabeth Butler. He was secretary of state in Virginia 
in 1625-1635, 1652-1660, treasurer in 1642-1660. Surveyor Gen- 
try in 1621-1625. He was a Justice of the Peace of York and Nor- 
thumberland in 1653. Member of the Council in 1623. In 1629 
he commanded an expedition against the Indians; again in 1644, he 
did the same. In the Northampton records, April 1653, is an order 
referring to the worshipful Colonel William Claiborne Esq. Deputy 
Governor. "Temperance Overton, (the wife of William Harris) came 
to this country with three brothers and settled in Virginia. She was a 
daughter of William Overton, and Mary Waters, William Overton 
was a Colonel under Oliver Cromwell, and commanded one wing 
of the army at the battle of Dunbar; for some cause he was cast 
into the Tower of London by Cromwell, and died there." 



Article 2. — One Robert Hanis of AVales, (1G30-1700) about 1650, 
married Mrs. Rice, whose maiden name was Claibourne, daugh- 
ter of Secretary William Claiborne, to whom was boiii, in llSSi. J ' 
a son, William Harris. .| 

They came to America, and settled in the Colony of Virginia, on 
the James River, near Weyanoke. The said -William Harris, married 
Temperance Overton, a daughter of a wealthy tobacco grower, 
William Overton, and Mary Walters, his wife. The said William 

Overton, was a son of Colonel Overton, who commanded a 

Brigade of Iron sides under Oliver Cromwell. 

William Harris became also a tobacconist, raising and dealing 
in that weed, which was at that time a medium of exchange, and 
became fairly well off in this world's goods, but he died before he 
reached old age, and a bronze tablet and stone, marked the resting 
place of his mortal remains. From this emigrant, sprang our 
American family, the blood courses, in the veins of hundreds and 
hundreds of families and persons of other names, scattered all over 
America and elsewhere. The family as such is noted for courage, 
brain, strength, and industry, endurance, honesty, and influence; 
many have held, and many yet hold high positions or trust, in polit- 
ical, in economical, in agriculturaal and in commercial industry, 
in the ministry fearless, but God-fearing servants, in the various 
branches of learning, in the army, in the navy, and in every calling 
and profession, some noted lawyers, some famous as physicians, 
some humorous and learned writers. 

William Harris, died March 8, 1687, at the age of thirty five 
years. His remains were buried in an old Colonial church at Wey- 
anoke on the James river, and a bronze tablet, commemorating his 



Ilislniji iiiiil <lf'm'(i/ij(jics 263 

death and ase marked his bui'ial ])lace. The old chr.rch Ions since 
going to ruins, on the first of July 1875 the tablet was removed to 
Xoi'folk, Va., and placed in the walls of Si. I^auls old church. En- 
graved on the tablet is the following. 

"Here lyeth ye body of 

William Harris 

who dei)arted this life ye Sth day of March, 16S7 

.\ged :]5 years. 

On the 1st day of July, 1875, this stone and 
tablet was brought from Weyanoke , on the 
James River. It was found among ruins of an 
old Colonial Church." 

Proof is sufficient for stating that .said (ablet marked the 
grave of our ancestor. 

To William Harris, and his wife, Temperance Overton, were 
born three sons: 

Section 1. Christopher Harris. 

Section 2. Major Robert Harris. He married xVIourning Glenn. 
He died in Brown's Cove, Albemarle County, Va., in 1765. A fuller 
history of whom is given in Chapter o. 

Section 3. Overton Harris; married Anne Nelson. The subject

made Dec. 2, 1809 by the heirs of Christopher Harris deceased, and 
his second wife, Agnes McCord, to Samuel Williams and James 
Guthrie to 600 acres on Hinkston's Fork of Licking in Bourbon 
County, Kentucky. His wife was Susannah Gass, daughter of David 
and Sarah Gass, see Chap. 2, notes. 

Section 13. Samuel Harris, was a devisee of his father's will. 
He married Nancy Wilkerson. It appears from the Court records 
that Samuel Harris entered as one of the sureties on the bond of 
his brother, Overton, and brother-in-law, John Bennett as executors 
of the will of his sister, Margaret Harris, who died testate and un- 
married in the year 1814. On Aug. 4, 1830, Samuel Harris and 
his wife, Nancy, conveyed to Richard Fowler land in Madison County 
and on the 21st of Sept. 1831, they were living on their farm, on 
Calloway's Creek in Madison County, Ky. which on that date they 
conveyed to Edwin Phelps and they emigrated westward, probably

Seventeen children were born to Christopher Harris, the fruits 
of his -marriages to Mary Dabney and Agnes McCord. all of whom 
lived to maturity, and all raised families of their own, except his 
daughter Margai-et. Such a record is hard to surpass. 



CHAPTEE 5. 

SARAH HARRIS. 

(Named in Chap. 4, Sec. 2.) 

Article 1. — Sarah Harris a daughter of CTiristopher Harris, the old 
Kentucky pioneer, and >Iary Dabney his first wife, was born in 
Albemarle County, Va., and was mari'ied there to James IMai-tin. 

They came with their children to Madison County, Ky. in the 
immigration named in Chapter 2. James Martin died in Madison 
County, Ky. about the first of the year 17 99, having first made and 
published his last will and testament, which bears date July .5, 179 6, 
probated March 5, 1799, and his wife Sarah and sons, William, Tyre 
and Robert Martin were appointed executrix and executors, (Will 
book A. page 192) when this will was written they had a grand-son, 
David Martin, son of his deceased son, James Martin. Their children: 

Section 1. Azariah Martin, was born in Albemarle County, 
Va. and came to Madison County, Ky. prior to 1784. His wife's name 
we haven't found out. He was well acquainted with Estill's old 
Station, and other noted places. He was a scout, Indian spy, hunter 
and skilled woodsman, and went into what was then a wild, unset- 
tled country, and made his home, on Station Camp Creek, about two 
miles from the Little Picture Lick, or Blue Banks, where the Indians 
blazed the trees with their tomahawks, and painted figures and 
pictures on the blazes with red and black paint, directly on the 
War Path, which Lick was noted, and often mentioned and it also 
was directly on the War Road, and on the trace leading from Estill's 
Station bv "the Mulberry Lick, Hoys Lick, Station Camp Ford, oppo- 
site the Little Picture Lick to Miller's Bottom on the Kentucky river, 
and the mouth of Millers Creek, and so on. He seemed to be well ac- 
quainted with the woods, the licks, traces, etc., in that whoJe section 
as well as with Estill Station settlements. In April 1784, he 
in company with Samuel Estill, Harris Massie, John Woods, William 
McCreery and several others, among the others being Humphrey, 
Baker, (iolonel Estill, Alex Reid, Benjamin Estill, Benjamin Cooper, 
Braxton Cooper, Sharswell Cooper, Patrick Woods, Charles Shuiiey, 
Higgason Harris, Daniel Hancock and Jesse Noland, went in pur- 
suit of an Indian Camp, near the mouth of Station Camp Creek, and 
pursued the Indian trail up said creek, across the Red Lick Fork, for 
some distance. Shortly after this scout, he and William Cradle- 



l/islnri/ II ml liiniiii(ii/i('s 'ISl 

hough, a noted sr-out, woodsman and Indian fighter went th(> same 
route, Cradlebough was an unusually hardy, brave and adventurous 
spirit and well acqnainted from Boonsborough to the Middle F'ork of 
th(> Kentucky, and up the latter deep into the country seldom trodden 
l)y white men, and was one of the earliest ])ioneers, and Avho with 
Hrooks and Talloway. (Thomas Brooks and John Calloway) in 1780 
had hunted and encafped for days and days, up the Middle Fork, and 
made and named Rock Back Encampment, Williams Creek, Cabin 
Creek were named by them, and Martin got much information from 
Cradlel)ough of the woods, the Little Picture Lick, and other Licks, 
the War Road and other traces, and of Indian habits. 

In Nov. or Dec. 1780, Cradlebough, Thomas Brooks and .Tohn 
Calloway, hunted and spied into the wilds of the Middle Fork and 
camped several days at a place on the south side of said fork, nearly 
opposite where one McWillard was living in 1805, and at this place 
they made a canoe in which they paddled up and down the river, 
and they cut on a beech tree the first or initial letters of their 
names: W. C. 1780, and ,J. C. and which they named Rock Back 
Encampment, and then about four miles above on the south side of 
the river at a Buffalo Lick on a branch near the mouth they marked 
"Brooks 1780," and F. C." they camped in a botom about four miles 
above the mouth of the creek, that they named Williams Creek 
because William Cradlebough whilst out hunting first found it, 
and here they encamped and cut down several trees, and cut on a 
tree the letters W. C. B. (but in 180.5 this was called upper Twins) 
and on a creek they built a cabin and called the creek Cabin Creek, 
(which in 1805 was called Lower Twins.) At this place in an oak 
and beech they cut out cutlets, and their initial letters, which marks 
were there in 1805, the place is about three quarters of a mile up 
from the mouth of the creek. When this party of three left Estill 
Station on this hunt they no doubt went the trace that led by Aza- 
riah Martins place, and the Litle Picture Lick. 

In 1805 James McCormick and William Bryant were commiss- 
ioned by the Court to take depositions to perpetuate testimony and 
with William Cradlebough went to Rock Back Encampment, and 
there commenced the taking of the deposition of Cradlebough, and 
adjournment from one to another of the Encampments of Cradle- 
bough, Brooks and Calloway of 1780 made twenty five years 
prior thereto, and found the facts as Cradlebough had described 
to them two years previous, which their depositions and statements 
prove. James McCormick then being on the Middle Fork, made this 
statement in writing: 

In the fall of 1798 James Trabue applied to him to survey for 
him on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky, and furnished him with 
several entries, one calling for a Buffalo Lick at the mouth of a 
small creek on the north side with a tree marked thus "Brooks 1780" 
which tree and lick he saw the same fall and the marks that were 
on the tree appeared to be very old or old enough to have been mark- 
ed at the same date. There were several entries that called for 
another encampment, called the Rock Back Encampment which by 
the direction of William Cradlebough he found at the same time 
with W. C. 1780, and J. C. 1780, cut on a small beech tree, which 
mark also appeared old enough for that date which Rock and Tree 
William Cradlebough this day swore to in his presence, also the 
bottom he surveyed for Daniel Trabue, with the trees fell down, was 
so well described by William Cradlebough, and the course of the 
river that he verily believed it to be the same bottom, notwithsiand- 



382 Hisiorji and Gcncnl ogles 

ing the trees were rotted and gone, and being present with him in 
search of the bottom Aug. 12, 1805. James McCormick." 

It seems that the old scout and indian fighter, Joseph Proctor, 
who was 47 years old in 1805, and who had been in Kentucky ever 
since before the big battle at Boonsborough, was perfectly familiar 
with the geography and topography of the country from personal 
observation and experience and knew all the stations, traces, licks, 
water courses and all places of note and was a mighty hunter. Ac- 
cording to Proctor, the Indians who travelled the south fork of 
Station Camp generally crossed the river about the mouth of said 
creek, and came through the Little Picture Lick up the creek oppo- 
site where Azariah Martin lived in 1801, on the east side of the 
creek through a large caney bottom, to the South Fork of Station 
Camp. He describes the War Road and says, "what I mean by the 
War Road, is that, that runs up the South Fork of Station Camp fiom 
the Indian Picture Lick out at the head of the War Fork, and on out 
to the Wilderness Road. Speaking of the place called Blue Banks 
to which the Little Picture Lick is near he says, on a high ridge the 
banks on the south side are naked to the blue, where the buffaloes 
used to wallow. The same remains as he said in 1805 to this good 
day 19 07, one hundred and two years after he gave his deposition. 
He located all the licks and traces in that whole section, and men- 
tions a bark camp, nearly thirty yards long, (Indian Camp) on the 
War Road. In 1780 or 1781 he and Samuel Estill were pilots for 
Colonel George Adams and his company of scouts, in pursuit of, and 
on the trail of Indians, and night came on them when they had 
reached a point above where Azariah Martin lived and above the 
Forks of Station Camp Creek, and they lost the trail of the indians, 
but the next morning they found the indian trail where they crossed 
the Red Lick Fork. During the pursuit a free negro by the name of 
Hines, and another man, by the name of John Dumford came to 
Hines Lick and there Hines was killed by the indians at the Lick, 
from which occurence said lick took its name. 

He and Peter Hackett speak of Shelby and Logan's campaign up 
the Kentucky river. Hackett was on Station Camp in the fall of 
17 80, the fall after James E.still was killed and with the Shelby 
Campaign in pursuit of indians since then, when he passed up on 
Station Camp by the Little Picture Lick. Azariah Martin had besides 
other children, sons:

last will and testament which bears date April 13, 1839, probated

Thomas Berry Harris was born in 

Madison County, Ky. in 1815, and went 

with his parents (or rather was carried 

/ " by them) in 1816, to Boone County, Mo. 

/' ■ . , About the year 1836, Mr. Harris moved 

to Calloway County, and engaged in farm- 
ing until about 1849, when he removed 
to Fulton, and in partnership with D. M. 
& J. H. Tucker, built up the flourish- 
ing and best known merchantile estab- 
lishment in Central Missouri. Having 
married he left Fulton and reengaged in 
farming. Up to the time of his death 
he was a very prominent and useful cit- 
izen. In 18 52 he was elected County 
Clerk, served on the Board of Managers 
of the Insane Asylum, which under the 
long superintendency of Dr. T. R. H. 
Smith did a grand work, and was free 
from the scandals of its later years. He 
efficiently aided in organizing the present 
school system of Fulton, being a member 
of the first board of education and by his wise and progressive views 
gave direction to the incipient organization and assisted in drawing 
up the first Code of Rules and Regulations for the public schools of 
Fulton. His most important work was as a member of the Con- 
stitutional Convention of 1865. He was a christian in the broadest 
and best sense. Unostentatious and tolerant, bigotry and hypocrisy 
had no part in his nature. He was not a 
■'barren fig tree." His remains lie in the 
new cemetery at Fulton. His widow Mrs. 
Mary Frances Harris entered into rest 
Wednesday evening, Feb. 2 8, 19 06, at 
the residence of her son, William Chris- 
topher Harris, 815 Court "fetreet, Fulton, 
Mo., she was born in Boone County, Mo. 
Nov. 10, 1827. She had more than com- 
pleted the period alloted by the Psalmist 
as the limit to human life, when quietly 
and peacefully she fell asleep in Jesus. 
At the age of thirteen she was converted 
and united with the Baptist church, being 
baptized by Rev. Robert Thomas and ever 
afterwards was a devoted, earnest and 
consecrated christian. She was educated 
at Bonne Femme Academy, a most ex- 
cellent school, and Columbia College. 
After her marriage the remainder of her 
life was spent in Calloway County, the 
last thirty nine years at the family resi-

deiu'o on Courl Sircel in the city of Fulton. Mrs. Ihirris Possessed 
a strong; personality, she belonged to that class of women whose 
voices still speak to us from the past. Erect and graceful, even 
in her declining years she retained in large part that refined beauty 
of form and face that had marked her early and matui-(Hl woman- 
hood. Of her a former pastor and friend said: "she had a clear mind, 
a good judgment, unflinching devotion to duty, a laudable ambition, 
unselfishness and a faith that towered in majesty and beauty. A 
grander character I have never known, and her influence can never 
die. She api)roached as nearly to perfection in the art of mother- 
hood as is attainable in a sinful world. Her love for and pride in 
her children was beautiful and in her old age she felt that she was 
amply repaid for all her toils and anxieties." Another pastor and 
friend said: "softened by sorrow, and refined by affection, lier life 
was a benediction to all who came in contact with her, she left to 
her children the richest legacy, one can leave to posterity, the frag- 
rance of a pure, beautiful and useful life." On Friday March 2, 
190 6, after simple services at the family residence conducted by 
her pastor, in the family lot, in the cemetery at Fulton while the 
last rays of the setting sun gave i)romise of another day her sacred 
dust was committed to mother earth, there to rest until the resur- 
rection morn. 

"And is she dead whose glorious mind nnd soul lifts them on high? 
To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die."

296 History and Genealogies 

Excerpt from A. C. Quisenberry's History: 

"Whilst on the move from Virginia to Kentucky, in Dec. 1780, at 
Holston, Virginia in the re-organization there of the old Providence 
Church of Primitive Baptists (Separatists) Mary Harris was one of 
the re-organizers, and then and there Elder Robert Elkin was chosen 
pastor of the flock. (The Mary Harris named, was not the wife of 
Rev. Christopher's father, for his first wife had been dead a long 
while). She is perhaps the Mary Harris who became the wife of 
William Woods.. ' 

On account of intelligence of various Indian incursions and 
molestations of the infant settlements of the interior of Kentucky 
and especially of Boonsborough, the destination of most of the 
company, this organization rested at Holston until 17 83, where 
they in the time raised three crops of corn, then in a body moved on 
to Craig's Station on Gilbert's Creek, in Lincoln County, Ky. where 
they remained until Nov. 12, 17 85, when a minor part of the church 
departed for South Western Kentucky, and the Major portion moved 
on to the waters of Lov/er Howard's Creek, in what is Clark County, 
Ky. not very far from Boonsborough, where new church officers were 
elected and the organization named } award's Creek Church, after- 
wards Providence. In 17 87, they constructed of logs a house of wor- 
ship, probably the first house of worship built by white settlers on 
Kentucky soil. 

Shortly after the arrival at Lower Howard's Creek, a great 
spiritual revival in the church commenced, lasting something like 
two years, and many were baptized into the fellowship of the saints, 
including the names, Christopher Harris, Squire Boone, .lunior, 
(Nephew- of the great pioneer Colonel Daniel Boone.) The preach- 
ing brethern were Elders James Quisenberry, Andrew Tribljle, Rob- 
ert Elkin etc." 

Christopher Harris placed his membershii) in Dreaming Creek 
Church, (Mt. Nebo) located in Madison County, about one or two 
miles North east of the city of Richmond, on the farm now owned by 
Irvine Miller Hume, and George Larkin Hume, on Dreaming Creek, 
prong of Otter Creek. 

The Primitive Baptist Church, at Viney Fork, in Madison County, 
Kv was organized March 25, 1797, the first preliminary steps were 
taken Jan. 22. preceding, with the help of Elders Peter Woods and 
Christopher Harris from Dreaming Creek, and Andrew Tribble and 
Isaac Newland from Tates Creek, and on the second Saturday of 
Aug 1797 Elder Christopher Harris was called as pastor, which call 
he accepted and faithfully ministered to the flock, until the second 
Saturday of Nov. 1813. 

Further Excerpt from History: 

"In Mav 1796, Christopher Harris was chosen moderator ot the 
Tates Creek Association serving for ten years as such, when about 
1816 he moved to the Green River Country, and united with Mt. 
Zion Church, in Warren County, and the next year was elected mod- 
erator of Gasper River association, and was continued as such until 
1820, when he and his churches entered into the constitution ot 
Drakes Creek association, of which he was chosen Moderator for 
five successive years, his career being closed by ^^^^11 to appeal 
before the Courts above, in about the year 1726,_ thus endrng his

County from Joel Terrill and David Lewis, 400 acres of land, and

of 6 00 acres to James Kerr, and the remainder to Robert Anderson. 

In 1764, William Dabney a brother to John Dabney, purchased

The immense fortune amassed by the bachelor, William 
Jennings, of Acton Place, London, England, mentioned in Art. 1 was 
claimed through his niece, Sarah Jennings the second wife of Cor- 
nelius Dabney, senior, and the only child and daughter of Charles 
Jennings brother to William, of Acton Place; many heroic efforts 
have been made by the American descendants of said Sarah to recov- 
er the fortune from England but all have been abortive. As late 
as 1875, Sis and McCliesh of the agency for prosecution and recovery 
of claims in the United States, Great Britian, its Colonies and foreign 
states (of Georgetown, D. C.) represented heirs in America, and 
were in correspondence with many, and one with whom they corre.s- 
ponded was the late Hon. Thomas C. Maupin, then living in Vaca- 
ville, Salano County, California, (who died in 1885 in his 89th year) 
The agents were urging him to give his deposition so as to perpetuate 
his evidence. They enclosed to Mr. Maupin notes of statements which 
they said the late Dr. Charles Brown (of Albemarle) had made.

(Named in Sec. 1, Art. 4, Chap. 4.) 



Article 1. — John Harris

the Harris immigration, named in Chapter 2. 



a son of the old Kentucky pioneer Chris- 
Agnes McCord, his second wife, was also 




MARGARET MAUPIN 

Wife of John Harris 



Having married in the state of Vir- 
ginia, Margaret Maupin, born 1767, died 
1858, a daughter of John Maupin and 
Frances Dabney his wife, named in Sec- 
tion 4, Chapter 15. (See also, Part V, 
Chap. 4, Sec. 1.3.) John Harris was one 
of the executors of the will of his father 
described in Chapter 4. He was often 
commissioned by the Court to take de- 
l)ositions and to render other service. In 
1802 he and John Kincaid met on Silver 
Creek at Squire Boone's mill seat and 
took the deposition of Squire Boone. He 
represented Madison County in the Ken- 
tucky Legislature in 1799. He and his 
wife were members of tne Viney Fork 
Baptist Church. He was a signer of 
the Albemarle Declaration of Independ- 
ence April 21, 1779. 

About the year 1809, he in company 
with his son Overton, went in a Flat Boat 
down the Ohio River to the Mississippi 
and down the latter to New Orleans, on a business trip. On their 
return towards home, John Harris died very suddenly and his flesh 
and bones were buried in the Mississippi swamps, with nothing to 
mark the place of his interment, and his grave has never since been 
found. His son, Overton, with a sad heart came on back home, and 
related the terrible news to his mother and the rest of the family, 
which was indeed shocking and sorrowful news. His wife was left 
a grief stricken widow. However, a kind providence had left her 
with a number of excellent sons and daughters to minister to her 
wants and comfort, and protect her, and by whom she was tenderly 
and kindly cared for her remaining days. She lived something 
like fifty years after this occurence, and died at the ripe age of up- 
wards of ninety years, staying with her children, but most of the 
time at her son Christopher's where she had a house built purposely 
for her, in the yard near the main house called Grand-ma's house, 
and which she always occupied when not away at some one of her 
children's home. 

After her husbands death, her son James, had gone into the Black 
Hawk War and in Canada was captured by the Indians by whom he 
was held in captivity for two years . She and her son Christopher 
were the administrators and wound up the estate of her deceased 
husband, to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Will Woods, 
John Brown, Thomas Collins and John Moberley were the appraisers 
of the estate. She brought with her from Virginia an old fashioned

gracefully fuinied tea keltle, now in the possession of the writer 
which he received from his Aunt Sarah Oldham, a granddaii£?hter 
01" Margaret Maupin Harris, which is very ancitMit. 

The obituary notice of Mrs. Margaret Harris published in the 
town i)aper. after her death, reads as follows: 

"Obituary" 

"Died on the fifth inst. a( the residence of her son-in-law, Colonel 
James Miller, in I^incoln County, Ky. Mrs. Margaret Harris, aged 
88 years, 9 months and 24 days. The deceased was born in Albemarle 
County, Va. on the first day of Feb. 1767, and was the widow of 
John Harris, one of the Judges of the Madison Circuit Court, (Court 
of Quarter Sessions) under the old Constitution of Kentucky to 
whom she was married in 1785, and whom she accompanied to 
Kentucky in the fall of 1795. In 1800, she became a memlier of 
the old Regular Baptist Church at Viney Fork, in Madison County, 
Ky. under ministration of the Rev. Christopher Harris, by whom she 
was baptized, and remained a most exemplary and consistent member 
of that church in full faith and fellowship until the day of her 
death. She was a woman of extraordinary good sense and energy of 
character, and of unswerving devotion in the dischage of every 
duty, which she owed to religion, to humanity, and to her family, 
friends, and neighbors, by whom she was universally beloved and 
respected, and indeed by all who knew her. It is the lot of few to 
live to so great an age, so uniformly in the enjoyment of all their 
faculties so that during her long widow-hood she was equal to all 
the cares and responsibilities of her situation. She was an object 
of love and veneration to her numerous descendants, of whom she 
left six living children and three or four great, great, grand children. 

May those who survive her learn from her example not only to 
live the life of a christian, but to die the death of one. The Savior 
said of young children "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" but when 
one has lived almost a century as blameless as "one of those little 
ones" and at last meets death willingly and composed and in the 
full hope of Heaven, surely to such it will be said "well done thou 
good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord, thy dwell- 
ing is the secret place of the Most High, abide under the shadow of 
the Almighty forever." Her remains were interred on the 7th inst. 
on the farm of her son. Major William Harris of this County. 

John Haris settled on the head waters of Hickory Lick in Madison 
County, Ky., as early as 1790, as appears from the Court records. 

To the said John Harris and Margaret Maupin his wife, were born 
the children named in the coming sections:

JOHN MILLER WALLACE HARRIS. 

(Named in Sec. 5, Chap. 28.) 

Article 1. — John Miller Wallace Harris, a son of Judge Cliristopher 
Harris and Sally Wallace, his wife, was born in Madison County, 
Ky., May 30, 1821. He was never married. 

When the Civil War came on and the 
'^ ' North and South were arrayed one against 

the other, in a great struggle for States 
rights embracing the question of negro 
slavery, he embraced the cause of the 
South, and enlisted in the confederate 
army. However it was not his fate to 
live to see the downfall of the cause he 
had espoused. On Monday, the 8th day 
of Sept. IS 62, in the ranks of two com- 
panies of Confederates, under the com- 
mand of Captain Jesse, on the way from 
Tennessee to central Kentucky, as they 
topped the Pine Mountain the most lofty 
of the Kentucky Ranges, came in con- 
tact with an ambuscade of a greatly 
superior force of Federals, who poured 
into Captain Jesse's men, hot heavy and 
vivid discharges from their guns, com- 
pletely routing them, killing several of 
the men on the spot, in which engage- 
ment, John Miller Wallace Harris re- 
ceived a deadly wound, from which he lingered about one week and 
expired. His remains were buried near the spot where he breathed 
his last, and have never been removed by any of the family. 

Here let it be noticed that in the battle of Richmond, Ky., 
Aug. 30 1862, occuring something like nine days in advance of the 
one at Pine Mountain, General John Miller, a relative of this subject 
and a brother to the husband of his sister, Talitha, and for whom the 
subject was in part named, while trying to rally a disordered column 
of Federal soldiers, received his death wound, and lived only about 
a week, the General on the one side, and the subject on the other 
of the great questions of which the country was at war. (See Part I, 
Chapter 7.)

stationed at Fort Washington, at said place for the defense of the 
settlers, were about to abandon their post for want of supplies, who 
went down in canoes from six to ten miles into what are now Ken-

Section 6. William A. Wallace, born in lsi'7. He was a member 
of the Pennsylvania Senate in 1S62-7, and represented that state 
in the V. S. Senate as a Democrat in 1875-18 81. (A-c) 

Section 7. William H. L. Wallace, 1821-1862. Served during 
the Mexican War. He commanded a brigade at Fort Donelson, and 
at Shiloh in the Civil War, was morlalyy wounded at Shiloh after 
a gallant stand against the enemy. (A-c) 

Section 8. .John W. Wallace, was the reporter of cases in the 
U. S. Supreme Court 1863-1875. (23 volumes) A-c) 

Section 9. Llew Wallace, born in 1827, was a lawyer of Indiana, 
politican, soldier and man of letters. He volunteered in the Civil 
War, and commanded a division at the battle of Fort Donelson, and 
was made Majov-General of Volunteers. Previous to the battle of 
Shiloh his division was stationed at Crump's Landing, near the main 
Army and could not reach the field for the first days fighting, but 
took part in same the second day. He commanded the defense of 
Cincinnati in anticipation of General E. Kirby Smith's attack in 
July 1864; in the battle of the Monococy Wallace though defeated 
by General Early gained time to save the Capital. He was Governor 
of Utah in 1878-1881. Minister to Turkey in 1881-5. He wrote 
the "Life of President Harrison," and the novels, "A Fair God," 
"Ben Hur," and the 'P'rince of India." (A-c) 

Section 10. Alfred Russel Wallace, an English Naturalist, born 
at Usk Monmouthshire, Jan. S, 1822. He was employed for several 
years in the architectural office of his brother, and then devoted 
himself to natural history. In 1848, he accompanied Mr. H. W. 
Bates in a scientific expedition to Brazil, where after a protracted 
sojourn in Para, he explored the primeval forests of the Amazon and 
Rio Negro, returning to England in 1852. His valuable collections 
especially rich in the departments of Ornithology and botany, were 
in great part destroyed by shipwreck. In 1853, he published "Travels 
of the Amazon and Rio Negro," and "Palm Trees of the Amazon and 
their I'Ses,'" and in 1854 undertook a journey to the East Indies, 
where for a period of nearly eight years he explored the greater part 
of the i.slands constituting the Malay Archipelago, and portions of 
Paupa. While pursuing his researches relative to the fauna and 
flora of these regions, Mr. Wallace, unaware of Darvin's previous 
labors, in the same direction, attempted the solution of the problem 
of the origin of species, and arrived at almost the same general 
conclusions which were simultaneously reached by that naturalist. 
His paper 'On th: tzndency of varieties to depart indefinately from 
the original Type," transmitted through Sir Charles Lyell to the 
Linnoean Society, was read before that body on July 1, 1858, coin- 
cidently with the reading of Mr. Darvin's paper, "On the tendency of 
species to form varieties, and on the perpetuation of species and vari- 
eties by means of natural selection." Though recognizing the 
efficacy of Natural selection in producing most of the changes attrib- 
uted to its action, by Mr. Darvin he denies its competence to effect 
without the joint agency of some higher cause, the transition to man 
from the Anthropoid Apes. In 1862, Mr. Wallace returned to Eng- 
land, where for several years he was mainly engaged in the classifi- 
cation of his collection which embraced upwards of 100,000 entomo- 
logical specimens, and more than 8,000 birds. The result of his 
Eastern explorations were partially embodied in "The Malay Arch- 



352 Histori/ and Genealogies 

ipelago, the Land of the Orang-Utan, and the Bird of Paradise," 
(1S69). Mr. Wallace has of late been prominently associated with 
the believers in the so-called spiritualistic phenomena, to the exami- 
nation of which he has devoted special attention. His observations 
were published in a series of essays in the "Fortnightly Review" for 
1874 reprinted as "Miracles and Modern Spiritualism." (1875) In 
18 68, he received the royal medal from the Royal Society, and in 
187 the gold medal from the Geographical Society of Paris. In 
1870, he published "Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selec- 
tions." His elaborate work, "On the Geographical Distribution of 
Animals," appeared in 1876. in English, French and German. (A-c) 

Section 11. Horace Binney Wallace, an American Author, born 
in Philadephia Feb. 26, 1817; died in Paris Dec. 16, 1852. He grad- 
uated at Princeton College and studied law, but never practiced. 
In connection with Judge Hare he edited and annotated "American 
Leading Cases," "Smith's Leading Cases" and "White and Tudor's 
Leading Cases in Equity," which have passed through numerous 
editions. He published anonomously "Stanley, or the Recollections 
of a Man of the World," a novel, (Philadelphia 1838) and after his 
death were published "Art and Scenery in Europe, with Other Pa- 
pers," and "Literary Criticisms" and other papers. (1856.) (A-c) 

Section 12. Sir William Wallace, a Scottish patriot, born about 
1270, executed at Smithfleld Aug. 23, 1305. He was of Anglo- 
Norman decent, the younger son of Sir Malcolm Wallace, knight of 
Ellerslie. While at the high school in Dundee, in an altercation he 
stabbed the son of the English Governor of Dundee Castle and fled. 
For sometime he was an outlaw, in the fastnesses of the Southern 
Higlands, and his accomplishments, personal prowess, and bravery 
drey.' around him a considerable number of followers, including sev- 
eral men of note. After the insurrection broke out in 1297, he at- 
tacked the English Justiciary holding Court at Scone, took many 
prisoners, and killed many more. At the same time Sir William Dou- 
glas, and others of his adherents surprised and compelled the sur- 
render of the English garrisons in the castles of Durisdeer and San- 
quhar. Edward I, sent into Scotland an army of 40,000 men with a 
small cavalry troop, under Sir Henry Percy and Sir Robert Clifford. 
The Scottish force had assembled at Lophmaben, and on the approach 
of the English a night attack was made by Wallace, who was forced 
to fall back toward Irvine in Ayrshire. Dissensions arose among the 
Chiefs in the Scottish army and a treaty was agreed upon. Wallace 
and Murray of Bothwell, alone of the leaders protested and retired 
into the Northern Counties where they speedily recruited a power- 
ful force, and surprised and captured the English garrisons at Aber- 
deen, Dunnoltar, Forfar, and Montrose. Wallace had begun the seige 
of Dundee, when he heard of the advance of a p^^^- -ful English army 
toward the River Forth, in the direction of Stirling. He at once 
abandoned the siege and recruiting as he went reached Stirling with 
40,000 foot, and 180 horse. The English 50,000 foot and 1,000 
horse, were under the command of the earl of Surrey. Several 
titled deserters from the Scottish army, who were with Surrey, were 
deputed to persuade Wallace to capitulate, a free pardon being offer- 
ed unconditionally in the name of the English King. The terms were 
i-ejected and a large portion of Surrey's force crossed the river, and 
fought the great battle of Cambus Kenneth, or Strotingbridge, Sept. 
10, 1297. From their advantageous position Wallace's men 
drove them hack, and pursued them to the border town of Berwick. 
King Edward's forces were almost completely cut to pieces and Wal- 
lace bv general consent, in the absence of the lawful Monarch (John 



Uisliin/ (iihl (l('ii('(il()(/ii's 35;i 

then in the tower of London) was declared guardian of the King- 
dom of Scotland. A severe famine following suggested the in- 
vasion of the Northern Counties of England, Wallace laid waste 
the country, from tho borders to New Castle and rcMurned with his 
spoils to attempt an organization of Scotland. 

Meanwhile Edward had raised an army of 80,000 infantry and 
7,000 horse, a portion of this force, landed by sea, on the North East 
coast and suffered a partial reverse, but the main body advanced 
Northward from the border and on July 22, 12S9, came up with the 
Scottish forces near Falkirk, where a decisive engagement was fought, 
in which the army of Wallace was defeated with a loss according to 
various historians of 15,000. For several years after this Wallace 
carried on a guerilla warfare, and he also went to Paris, to s« cure 
French intervention. In Feb. i;!04, he was declared an outlaw. 
T^arge rewards were offered by Edward for his arrest, and he was 
ultimately betrayed by Sir John Moutieth. The day after his arrival 
in London, the form of a trial was gone through in Westminster 
Hall, the prisoner in derision of his pretensions to the throne of 
Scotland being decorated with a crown of laurel. He was condemned 
to death, and the same day dragged at the tail of a horse to West 
Smithfield and then hung, drawn and quartered. His hand was set 
upon London bridge and his limbs were exposed at New Castle, Ber- 
wick, Perth and Sterling. (A-c) 

Section 1?.. William Vincent Wallace, an Irish composer in 
Waterford in 181.5, died at the Chateau de Bayen Haute, Garoune, 
France, Oct. 12. 1S65. He received his earliest musical instruction 
from his father, a military band master, and at the age of 15 could 
play on every instrument of the orchestra and had written numerous 
compositions for military bands, as a performer on the piano, forte 
and violin, he showed great excellence. At the age of 18, on account 
of failing health he went to New South Wales, and was long en- 
gaged in agricultural pusuits. He gave his first concert at Sydney 
with great success, and thenceforth travelled extensively over the 
Southern Hemisphere deriving large emoluments in the Spanish 
American cities from his performances on the violin and piano forte 
After a professional tour in the United States he returned in 1S4."). 
to England, where his first opera "Montana" was produced with 
great success . He then produced in rapid succession "Matilda of 
Hungary" "The Maid of Zurich," "Gulnare" and "Olga," several of 
which were performed in Germany, and elsewhere in Continental 
Europe. In 1849, he was commissioned to write an opera for the 
grand opera of Paris, but had scarcely begun the work when he 
became blind. For the purpose of recovering his eyesight, he made 
a voyage to Rio de Janerio, whence he in 1850 came to the United 
States. Several years later he returned to England where in 1854, 
his "Lurline" and in 1861, his "Amberwick," were brought out. In 
1862, he produced "Loves Triumph"" and in 180:], "The Desert 
Flower." (A-c)

nent part in the affairs of Texas, and in the encounters with the 
predatory bands of Indians and Mexicans, that his name was made 
famous. He was a comrade in arms of Captain David McFadden, a 
veteran of three wars, and still an active farmer, and stock raiser of 
McLennon County, Texas, where he settled in 1851, two miles beyond 
the danger line, being what was called the out side settler, and was 
constantly on the alert, with his rifle against the plundering blood- 
thirsty commanches, and who still rides his broncho, and looks 
personally after his farms and ranches. 

Big Foot Wallace was of the band of Texans who chased General 
Woll, at the head of a Mexican Army across the Rio Grande, into 
Mexico, as related in Part VI, Chapter 13a, Section 1, and was one 
of the prisoners of Mier, captured the day after Christmas Day 1842,

claimed "Another Alimo" and said "Don't talk to me of Mexican 
magnanimity; it means fill us with beans one day, and bullets the 
next." And who in 18 44 led the last remnant of the nearly starved 
and naked prisoners of Mier back across the Rio Grande, and upon 
reaching the Lone Star got down on their knees and kissed her soil, 
they had helped to buy with blood and tears. He died at his ranch

THE WALLACE FAMILY. 

Article 1 .^This family is of Anglo-Xorniaii-Scotch-Irish blood, and 
by luaiiv of tbe iianic, believed tbat their lineafje runs back to 
Sir Malcolm AVallace, Knight of Kllerslio, of the thirteenth cen- 
tury, father of the noble Highlander, Sir William Wallace, Scot- 
tish Chieftain, patriot and martyr. 

The family in all its branches, and generations have been noted 
for courage, gallantry and patriotism, many have sacrificed their 
lives for their country. A braver, and more gallant soldier than a 
Wallace, never enlisted in an army. 

The father of our family, Peter Wallace, a Scottish Highlander, 
born in about 1680, who spent the latter part of his life in North 
Ireland, and died there a short time before the closing of the first 
quarter of the Eighteenth Century, married Elizabeth Woods, 
a daughter of .John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop his wife. The 
said .John Woods was the son of an English Trooper, who came to 
Ireland, and was in the army of invasion of Oliver Cromwell, 1649. 
A fuller history of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop his wife is 
^ven in Part 11, Chapters 2 and 3. Of the issues of the marriage 
of Peter Wallace and Elizabeth Woods, (who was born and married 
in Ireland) was at least six children. After the death of her husband. 
Peter Wallace, Elizabeth, then a widow, and her six children, and 
may be more, with her brothers, Michael Woods, .James Woods, Wil- 
liam Wioods and Andrew Woods, in about the closing days of the first 
quarter of the Eighteenth Century, bid adieu to the country of their 
nativity, and their clans, and emigrated, sailing across the mighty 
Atlantic, to a port in the New World, America, touching first the 
Colony of Pennsylvania, where Elizabeth rested for several years. 
Her sons William, Andrew, etc., and her brother Michael Woods, 
having moved into the valley of Virginia and settled in Goochland, 
now Albemarle and Rockbridge Counties, on each side of the Blue 
Ridge Mountains; she in a few years followed, went to Rockbridge 
County, and selected a home just across the Blue Ridge mountains 
from the home of her brother. Three of her sons and one of her 
daughters had married their first cousins, children of their Uncle 
Michael Woods, and Mary Campbell his wife, of whom more will 
be told in the Chapters following. Her children who came over 
with her from Ireland were: 

Section 1. William Wallace; married Hannah Woods. (See 
Part II, Chap. 4, Sec. 4.) The subject of Chapter ?,. 

Section 2. Susannah Wallace; married William Woods. (See

a daughter of his nnele Michael Woods and Mary Campbell his 
wife. (See Part II, Chap. 4.) 

As early as March 29, 17 4 7, he was one of the inhabitants of 
Ivy Creek and Mountain Plains congregations, who joined with 
Rockflsh in signing a call to Rev. Samuel Black, to serve them as 
pastor. He with his brothers, and father-in-law, .moved from Penn-

3. William Wallace, born in 1816, emigrated to Texas, and 
the same person known in Texas as Big Foot Wallace. (See 
Chap. 1, Sec. 37.) A sketch of whose life dictated by Captain 
David McFadden, a veteran of three wars, and a personal friend 
chum, and comrade of Wallace, now living at Waco, Texas, is 
here given, towit: 

"Sketcli of the Life of William AVallacc." 

"I became acquainted with Big Foot Wallace in 1849. I think 
his real name was William, but am not certain as to that. He 
was from Virginia to Texas, in the year about 1835. He had a 
brother and cousin who were in Fannin's massacre at Goliad* 
and he came to Texas to avenge their death. He spent his life 
on the frontiers of Texas, killing Indians whenever he had a 
chance. Did not like domestic life, preferred camp life. He 
called his riflle (which I have seen many times ^ "Sweet Lips." 
I think he was the best scout and Indian fighter, I was ever with, 
understanding their mode of fighting best. He was one of the 
Maier prisoners of Mexico, while in i)rison he drew a white bean, 



360 History and Genealogies 

Mexican's shot their prisoners in those days, except those draw- 
ing white beans. Every tenth bean was white (black) and every 
one who drew a white one was spared. He being one of the 
lucky ones. He served through the Mexican War, belonging to 
Ben McCulloch's Company and Jack Hay's Regiment of Texas 
Rangers. I understand he was a descendant of the Wallaces 
of Scotland. He was about six feet, two inches tall, weighed 
about 2 00 lbs., raw bone, and a powerful man. My first associ- 
ation with him was at Austin, Texas, our Capital where he was 
camped under a big Live Oak Tree. He was fond of hunting 
and there being plenty of game he kept himself in amunition in 
this way, and was always ready to go for the Indians. While 
in camp at Austin, he fell in love with a girl, he made up his 
mind the next time he called on her, he would propose to her, 
but he was called out, and before he got back he took fever and 
all his hair came out, so he decided not to go back until his 
hair grew out again, as he was a hard looking customer any 
way. He went up on the Colorado river to a cave in which he 
had stayed often, this cave being on an Indian trail. Then he 
greased his head with bear's oil, thinking that would grow 
hair, but it failed to do the work, and while he was in this 
cave, they made up a scout in Austin and he went with them 
upon the I.ilano river about 150 miles above Austin, Texas. They 
wanted him with them because he was a good scout and Tndian 
trailer. When they reached the Llano river the Indians l)pgan 
to shoot up smokes, which could be seen for miles around, these 
smokes were signals used by the Indians as their knowledge 
of the enemy being in the country. So Wallace and his men 
struck camps for the night. W^allace told the Captain of the 
scout that he wanted to get up the following morning about two 
hours before day, prospecting and looking for signs of Indians, 
as he knew there were plenty of them in the surroundings. 
The Llano river is a tributary of the Colorado river, which is 
surrounded by a very rough and mountainous country and ex- 
ceedingly deep gulches. On the morning he was awakened and 
started for a trail and while he was rounding the bend in one 
of these gulches which made a very short and narrow bend, he 
found himself face to face with a very large Indian, being too 
close to each other to use their fire arms, and also, being some- 
what surprised, they each stood eyeing the other for a minute 
and then they made a dash at each other and clinched. Wallace 
stated that he could throw his enemy very easily, but on account 
of the Indian being naked and greased with bear's oil, which 
made him so very slick that he could not hold him on the 
ground. After throwing him several times repeatedly and 
finding that he was not accomplishing much, he decided he 
must try some other means of conquering his enemy, or else 
he would never peruse the smiling countenance of his lovely 
maiden in Austin, Texas, again; after clinching once more his 
breath coming short, he made a desperate effort to throw the 
indian as hard as possible, and in this he succeeded, throwing 
him very hard with his head upon a rock, which rendered him 
unconscious, this affording Wallace an opportunity to get his 
knife, he did so, and stabbed the indian a death blow, but the 
indian revived for a little, and stood throwing himself upon 
Wallace once more, he drew his knife, but being too weak by 
this time, he fell dead with the knife in hand which planted 
its point in the earth. 

Wallace stated that he buried him to the best of his abil- 



Ilistonj and (ienralogics 3G1 

Ity witli chunks and rooks, and then returned to canii) with a 
report of his mornings adventures. The scouting party remain- 
ed in this camp for about one week, but accomplished very little, 
as the Indians had discovered them and fled. Wallace said 
afterwards that on account of his hair being so slow in growing 
out that he lost the i)ride of his heart, as some oth' r man had 
captured her during his absence. He afterwards was captured 
by the Indians who were very much afraid of him. and at their 
Chief's command he was tied to a stake to be h irned alive. 
The Indians then begun to bring their wood and fuel, piling 
it around him when an old Indian squaw interferrod by begging 
for his life, pleading with the chief not to kill him, but turn 
him over to her. She succeeded in her pleadings and Wallace 
remained with her and chumned with one of her sons who was 
near his own age for about six months, but all the time he was 
watching his chances of escape, so finding an o])portunity he 
left them and returned to his own Texas settlements. 

Wallace died in Preeo County, Texas, south west of San 
Antonio, Texas, on his ranch last February two years ago, 
1904, having reached the age of eighty years and never was 
married, but lived the lonesome life of a bachelor. Wallace was 
a fearless, but kind hearted man, spending the earliest and best 
days of his life on the frontiers of Texas, protecting the many 
helpless settlers therein. 

I have given you the history of Wallace to the best of my re- 
membrance from first acquaintance with him, but I am sorry 
to say that most of the dates I have forgotten. The other 
parties you refer to I have either forgotten, or else was never 
associated with them. I forgot to state that on one of his 
scouting trips with a company he killed a very large Indian 
who had an enormous foot, hence his name Big Foot Wallace. 

Yours Truly, 
January 11, 19 07. D. McFadden. 

Captain McFadden, the veteran of three wars, was a comrade, 
associate, and chum of Wallace, and he himself had had many thrill- 
ing experiences on the Texas frontiers, and had many engagements 
with the Comanches and Mexicans, and was no mean scout. He 
is now resting at his home in McLennon County, enjoying the com- 
forts of home, peace and happiness, the reward of the services of 
such men as himself and Wallace.

"AVilliam A. "IJig, Foot" Wallace." 

William A. Wallace was born in Lexington, Rockbridge County, 
Va., in the year 1816. He went to Texas in 1836, a few months 
after the battle of San Jacinto, for the purpose, he says, of taking 
pay out of the Mexicans for the murder of his brother, and his 
cousin. Major Wallace, both of whom fell at "Fannin's Massacre." 
He landed first at Galveston, from Galveston, Wallace went to La 
Grange, then a frontier village, where he resided until the spring of 
1839, when he moved to Austin, just before the seat of Government 
was established at that place. He remained at Austin until the 
spring of 184 0, when finding that the country was settling up around 
him too fast to suit his notions, he went over to San Antonio, where 
he resided until he entered the serivce. He was in the battle of 



'.](Vl Histori/ and Genealogies 

Salado, in the fall of 1842. In the fall of 1842, he volunteered in 
the "Mier Expedition." After his return from Mexico, he joinea 
Colonel Jack Hays's Ranging Company, and was with it in many 
of those desperate encounters with the Comanches and other Indians, 
in which Hays, Walker, McCulloch and Chevalier gained their repu- 
tation as successful Indian fighters. When the Mexican War broke 
out in 1846, Wallace joined Colonel Hay's regiment of mounted 
volunteers, and was with it at the storming of Monterey, where he 
says he took full toll out of the Mexicans for killing -his brother and 
cousin at &oliad in 183 6. 

After the Mexican War ended, he had command of a ranging 
company for some time, and did good service in. protecting the fron- 
tiers of the state from the incursions of. the savages. Subsequently 
he had charge of the mail from San Antonio to El Paso, and though 
often waylaid and attacked by indians, he always brought it through 
in safety. He is now (1870) living upon his little ranch, thirty 
miles west of San Antonio.

Article 1. — >Ii<-lia«'I WjiIIjuc, a son of Ainlrcw Wallace and .Marsar<-t 
Woods his uifc, was boin in .Albcniail*' County, Va., in 1752, 
and died Anj;. 2, 18()1). as hcrcai'tci- proven. 

He married .lane Biatton in Virginia and about or jirior to 1790, 
emigrated from Albemarle to Madison County, Kentucky, and set- 
tled on the head waters of a prong of Otter Creek, where the City 
of Richmond was built. On the 2nd of July, 1793, he acquired for 
1000 pounds current money, 300 acres of land from Colonel .John 
Miller, (the founder of Richmond) and his wife Jenny, on the 
waters of Otter Creek, adjoining David Trotter's land, and Hoy's 
pre-emption. (The Dillingham addition to the city of Richmond, now 
covering a jiortion of said land,) and upon which land, Michael 
Wallace and his wife, Jane Brat ton lived and died and upon which 
their remains were buried, just back of the old Edmund L. Shackel- 
ford house, some 100 or more yards from the Irvine pike. The 
stones marking their graves still remain, although the stone to 
his wife's grave is broken, and they show, that Michael Wallace 
died Aug. 2, 1809, in the .57th year of his age, proof that he was 
born in 1752. The date of his birth was about four years subse- 
quent to the date of the deed to his father and mother from Michael 
Woods to 400 acres of land in Albemarle Countv, Va., mentioned in 
Chapter 6. 

(Rev. Neander M. Woods, in his Woods — McAfee memorial, to 
which we are much indebted for valuable data: supposes that this 
Michael Wallace went from Virginia to Pennsylvania and was the 
father of Andrew, of Carlisle, ancestor of General Llew Wallace, 
author, man of letters and soldier, but gives no account of his wife, 
which supposition is error, because this Michael W^allace came and 
settled in Madison County, Ky., as above stated.) 

The stone shows that Jane Wallace his wife died Feb. 12, 1836, 
in the 75th year of her age, proving her birth in 1761. She survived 
her husband 27 years. Michael Wallace was at an early day ap- 
pointed and acted as surveyor of the state or Great Road, in Madison 
County, Ky., and was allotted the hands on his own lands, and the 
lands of William Kerr, Cornelius Maupin, John Reid, James Coulter, 
William Kavanaugh, James Coulter, Jr,. and Captain William Bris- 
coe. (See Chap. 1, Sec. 14.) James Coulter's will, probated in 1806, 
was witnessed by James Bratton. Coulter and his wife were buried 
in the same grave yard that Wallace and his wife were buried in. 
John Bratton, married Susannah Burton, Jan. 7, 1810. When Mich, 
ael Wallace died, administration on his estate was granted to his 
widow, Jane Wallace, Jan, 1, 1810. His home at Richmond, was 
twelve to fifteen miles from the home of his double-first cousin 
Michael Wallace, (son of William Wallace and Hannah Woods), 
who married Ann Allen, on Paint Lick Creek, as stated in Chapter 
4. Michael Wallace, the subject, was one of the signers of the 
Albemarle Declaration of Independence Ainil 21, 1779. The child- 
ren of Michael Wallace and Jane Bratton his wife were: 

Section 1. Ella Wallace; married John P. Ballard, Dec. 26, 1809, 
her husband died, and on the 31st of Jan. 1826, she married Robert 
Cox. Her home was on the State Road in Madison County, Ky.,

March 12, 1835, and went West. 

2. John Powers Ballard; married Jane Wallace Jarman, his 
cousin, May 7, 1835, (See Chap. 13, Sec. 5,) and went West. 
No issue of second marriage to Robert Cox. Ella Cox died, and

He was an emigrant from Ireland to America, as related in Chaj)-

Woods, after his death called Michael Woods of Blair Park, and 
Mary Campbell of the Scottish Clan Campbell, from Argylshire, 
Scotland, his wife. See Part II, Chap. 4, Sec. 9. The said Mart.ia wa.^ 
born in 1720, and died in 1790. He moved with his mother from 
Pennsylvania to Rockbridge County, Va. Of the marriage nine child-

Section 1. Malcom Wallace. He was in the army under General 
Morgan at Boston, and died there in the service of his countrv in

Section 2. Samuel Wallace, born in 1745. He married Rebeka 
Anderson, v\-ho died in 1786. He was an officer in the Revolutionary 
Army, and commanded at Fort Young on the Virginia Frontier, 
during the French and Indian War. 

Section :]. .lames (or Hugh) Wallace was an ensign in the Third 
Virginia Regiment, and died of smallpox in Philadelphia in 1776. 

Section 4. Adam Wallace. The captain of a Rockbridge Com- 
pany in the tenth Virginia, and was killed by Tarleton's Troops, 
while bravely fighting against fearful odds, at the Waxhaw, South 
Carolina, May 29, 1780. 

His sword, or espontoon, used on that bloody day was in the pos- 
session of .John A. R. Varner, of Lexington, Va., a descendant of his 
brother, Samuel, a few years ago. Wallace's company was composed 
of fifty Rockbridge men. Colonel Buford's Regiment had been de- 
tached from the Northern Army and ordered to go to the relief of 
the beleaguered garrison at Charleston, South Carolina. On their 
way they learned that General Lincoln had capitulated, and Colonel 
Buford was ordered to fall back again toward the North. Corn- 
wallis hearing of Buford's retreat, sent his dashing unscrupulous 
cavalry officer. Colonel Tarlton, with three hundred picked men in 
l)ursuit, and after a forced march of one hundred miles he overcok 
Buford at Waxhaw, South Carolina. Before Buford and his Virgin- 
ians could prepare for the attack the British cavalry was upon .hem 
from front and rear, and both flanks. The Virginians delivered their 
fire, but before they could reload Tarlton's cavalry men were on them 
with their ])istols and swords. Out of four hundred men of Buford's 
command, three hundred were killed or wounded. The wounded 
were hacked to pieces in the most inhuman manner. 

It was in this terrible encounter that Captain Adam Wallace 
fell. He was a young man of twenty-five years, and stood six feet 
two inches in his stockings, — the very picture of vi.^orous manhood. 

Colonel Buford seeing his men in confusion, fled early in the 
fight, but young Wallace disdained to flee, and standing his ground 
met steel with steel. His trusty sword was wielded with tremendours 
vigor, and he managed to kil*l a number of Tarlton's dragoons

before he received the fatal blow which ended his noble youn^ life 

Four brothers of young Andrew, towit: Malcolm, Samuel, 
Andrew and James (or Hugh), sons of Peter Wallace, Jr., and 
Martha Woods, his wife, sacrificed their lives for the independence 
of their country. 

In a speech delivered in the Virginia House of Delegates by late 
Governor James MacDowell, occurs this sentence concerning the 
brave young soldier who owned that sword. 

"That dark and dismal page in the history of the Revolution, 
that carnival of cruel and unjustifiable slaughter, stamped with the 
name of Waxhaw, is illuminated only by the splendid herotMu of 
a soldier from the valley of Virginia, whom I am proud to claim as 
a kinsman, Captain Adam Wallace, of Rockbridge." 

Of all the members of the Wallace-Woods Clans, none had a 
nobler record, in the great struggle for freedom from the British 
Yoke, than did Peter Wallace, Junior, and his wife Martha Woods, 
who gave five brave sons to that sacred cause: Samuel, Malcolm, 
Andrew, James (or Hugh), and Adam. (Woods-McAfee Memorial, 
by Rev. N. M. W.)

CHAPTER Ki. 
THOMAS K. WALLACE. 

(Named in Chap. 8, Sec. 9.) 

Article 1. — Th< mas K. Wallace, a son of Andrew Wallace and Jane 
Heid his wife, was born in Madison County, Ky., Aug;. 20, 1881. 

He left the County when about five years of age, in 1836, with 
his parents, and went to Irvine, Estill County, Ky., and when he was 
about eleven years of age his father died the 10th day of Oct. 18 42: 
he was educated i)rincipally in Irvine, going to school in the winter 
and working in the fall and winter until about twenty-four years of 
age: in Jan. 18 55, hoping to improve his opportunities he emigrated 
to Missouri and stopped on the Grand Prarie, in the Northern part 
of Boone County, where he engaged in farming until the Civil War 
broke out: in 1862, he went with the South and enlisted in the Con- 
federate Army, he remained in the army to the end of the struggle, 
when he returned to Boone County. Before the war, on the 2 8th of 
Feb. 1858, he was married to Margaret Bryson, she was born in 
Howard County, Mo., the 8th day of June 183o, she was a daughter 
of Solomon Bryson. Her parents were born and reared in Madison 
County, Ky. Solomon Bryson's parents died when he was very young. 



Ilisliirji (111(1 r!cii('(i/(j(/i('s 877 
he fell in hat He. 

and he was raised an orphan and knew but little of his ])eoi)le. 

His wife was a Miss Hendren, related to the old Madison County 

family of that name. Mr. Bryson and his wife left Madison County, 
Ky., about 1831, and she heard after that but little from ]■ r i)eoi)le, 
and lost trace of her genealogy. 

Thomas K. Wallace was trying to make a start in he world, 
and provide for his wife and little children, and wa not at all 
inclined to join the army, but the circumstances aul conditions 
were such that it seemed impossible for a southern-riL;li,s man, (h<> 
being one) to remain at home in peace and safety. The radical 
party had become oppressive, the guerrillas were scouring the 
country, breaking into and pillaging houses, taking any and every 
thing they wanted, and many things they didn't want, and mistreat- 
ing the people ojiiiosed to their methods. That did not suit young 
Wallace, therefore, taking his gun and best horse he joined in viith 
others, w-ho bethought themselves to make the pillagers afraid to 
leave the station on the Pacific Railroad, near which was Mr. Wal- 
lace's home, but the pillagers were soon re-enforced and there re- 
mained in the summer of 1862, the only alternative for Wallace to 
enlist in the southern army. So, in the fall he joined a company 
that was being made up to go South, this company started out 
travelling at night to keep from being seen as much as possible, 
and succeeded in crossing the river, but after the first night the 
enemy got on their trail, and sent runners to stations ahead, and 
they had to fight night and day. In an engagement in the evening 
of the third day, Mr. AVallace was wounded in the right arm, cap- 
tured and carried to a station and held there as a prisoner about two 
weeks, when a start was made with the prisoners for Jefferson 
City. On the way late in the evening when the sun was sinking 
beneath the Western horizon, and all were weary, and the bushes by 
the way were thick, the guards riding and tlie prisoners afoot, 
Wallace watching and waiting his chance, sprang out into the thicket 
and made his escape, by concealing himself in a gully and as it was 
growing dark, the search for him was soon ended, and he winded 
his way in a south easterly direction for several miles, and finally 
oame to a house, around which he spied until he discovered the 
absence of men, then he ventured up and revealed his condition and 
his wants, and luckily they were true southern sympathizers: in a 
short while horses were made ready and one of the ladies of the 
house went with him about five miles to the home of a widow lady, 
whose son ])ilotted Wallace about twenty miles further into the 
Glasconade Hills, near Rolla, where he found a Confederate Recruit- 
ing Officer with whom Mr. Wallace remained until the latter part of 
the winter, from which point he was piloted to the Missouri Cavalry 
forces in Arkansas, where Wallace got with his company again. 
His arm had not gotten well from the wound, shivered pieces of 
bone were working out, and whilst he was unable to do certain active 
service, he was detailed on the courier lines and to taking the wound- 
ed and the dying from the fields of battle, which services he faith- 
fully and gallantly rendered. 

He was under General Steel when that officer attempted to go 
through to Shreveport, and was in the battles of Old River Lake, 
Poison Springs and Saline River. Gen. Steele, however, was driven 
back: he was with General Price's army on his raid into Missouri, 
when he went to the river and drove everything before him. He 
belonged to the fourth Missouri Cavalry, General Marmaduke's 
Brigade, division commanded by General .Tohn Q. Burbridge, who 
surrendered at Shreveport. 

After the restoration of peace, Mr. Wallace on account of his crip-

pled arm, unable to wield an axe, or do much manual labor, 
everything looked dark to him, but he found friends who backed 
him until he could walk alone, and the prospects brightened. 

From the years 1855 to 1882, Thomas K. Wallace lived in Boone 
and Audraine Counties, Missouri; in the latter year he sold out and 
went to Bourbon County, Kansas, and lived there for five years, and 
then went to Oklahoma, built a store house and stocked it with drugs 
for his son, Napoleon E. Wallace, and Mr. Wallace remained there 
for a year and a half, until the opening of the '"Strip" to where he 
went and obtained a claim and remained on it six years, and then 
sold out and moved to Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he is now per- 
manently located, 606, East Mansur Ave., and there hopes to live 
out the balance of his days, where he has a beautiful home. When 
he left his farm in Missouri, he thought his days here on earth were 
few, he yet survives, 7 5 years old. Their children: 

Section 1. James Andrew Wallace, born April S, 18 59: died 
April 25, 1859. 

Section 2. John Nathan Wallace, born Nov. 11, 18 60. He 
married firstly, Npra Keene, of Boone County, Mo., a daughter of 
Alexander Keene, an early settler and pioneer of Boone County, near 
Columbia. He married secondly, Ella Henton, who came with her 
parents from Illinois to Kansas. John Nathan Wallace's home is 
Guthrie, Oklahoma, and he is the pioneer drug man of the place, 
his place of business is at the corner of First and Oklahoma Avenues. 
He went to Guthrie when the Country was first opened, and was 
far-sighted enough to see a future for Guthrie and immediately em- 
barked in business and has been an active factor in the Commercial 
Circles of Guthrie ever since. 

His store is neatly arranged and equii)ped, and contains a large 
and well selected stock of drugs, medicines, chemicals, herbs, patent 
medicines, extracts, toilet articles, etc. The prescription department 
is given special attention, and has gained quite a reputation among 
phvsicians for skill and care. A first class line of jewelry is also 
carried in stock, and quoted at the lowest prevailing prices. Every- 
thing in the way of diamonds, watches, clocks, cut glass, gold, and 
silver ware etc., is carried, and from the assortment, one can make a 
satisfactory selection. Besides being active himself, Mr. Wallace 
gives employment to a number of competent hands, but he is person- 
ally on hand to look after details. The issue of his marriage: 

1. Leonard Buford Wallace, born May 5, 1885. 
The issue of the second mariage: 

2. Evan Oswold Wallace, born Dec. 22, 1891. 

Section ?,. Thomas P. Wallace, born Aug. 18, 1862: died Oct. 
9, 1887. 

Section 4. Napoleon E. Wallace, born May 28, 18 66. He mar- 
ried Naoma France, a daughter of James France, of Illinois: her 
parents live now in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Napoleon E. Wallace, and 
his family live in Apacha, Oklahoma, about one hundred and twenty- 
five miles from Guthrie. They had one child: 

1. lona Mercy Wallace, born Feb. 16, 1899. 

Section 5. Sarah Frances Wallace, born Jan. 7, 18 69: unmaried 
and now lives with her parents in Guthrie, Oklahoma. 

Section 6. Benjamin A. Wallace, born Jan. 1, 1873: died Jan.

"They are mostly Methodists in religion: many of them have held 
liosirioRs of responsibility and trust: they are church going, law 
abiding, brave, heroic, and patriotic. I know of no name in the 
County that sent more sons to the confederate army, or who made 
better soldiers. No man need ever blush with shame for any act 
done, either on the battle field, or in camp, by any of them." 

"C. B. Maupin, a member of the same company as myself, lost 
his life in Pickett's celebrated charge at Gettysburg.

"You may justly feel proud of their military record. 

"There were three in the Revolutionary Army, Cornelius, Daniel 

and William —

liam Maupin, went to Missouri and went from there to Congress. 

.Jennings Maupin; married Sallie Miller, their children: Tyre, 
James and Fannie. Fannie, married Colonel Henry Lindsey, left 
a family. Tyre Maupin at the beginning of the war, was an ardent 
whig, and had the name of being the best posted man in Virginia 
on political matters. 

Dr. Socrates Maupin, was first professor of chemistry in Hamp- 
den-Sidney College, Virginia, then at the University of Virginia, 
died in 1871, from injuries received in a runaway accident in Lynch- 
burg, and was a son of Chapman Maupin, and Chapman Maupin was

"Zacharias Maupin; married Elizabeth Jarman. 

Sarah Maupin, daughter of one John Maupin, married William

at his death weighed 3 60 pounds, he has two children living, namely: 
Cornelia, married W. B. Railey of Moorman's River and William

Captain H. C. Michie of Charlottesville, Va., as Captain of Com- 
pany H. 56th Regiment, Virginia Infantry, Confederate Army 
with his company crossed the stone wall on Cemetery Ridge at 
Gettysburg. He is a manly man of the highest courage, of large 
means, and influence, an ardent lover of the Confederate soldier, and 
their true friend, and ever ready to contribute to their needs: 
feeling justly proud of the record he and his company made, testifies 
as follows: 

Charlottesville, Va., March 28, 1906. 
To all whom it may concern: 

It was my good fortune to have seven of 
the Maupin family in my company during the j]ivil War. Whether 
in camp, on the march, or in battle, they were always ready tor any 
duty, and no soldier carried his bavonet farther in battle. Two of 
these gallant fellows. Corporal, David Maupin, and Private, Carson 
Maupin, were killed at the High Water Mark of the Rebe'llion, (so 
called by the Yankees) in the charge of Pickett's division at Gettys- 
burg, and Sergeant, James R. Maupin now of Albemarle County, 
Va., was wounded and captured at the same battle. Some of these 
gallant fellows left their blood on nearly every battle ground 
fought on Virginia and Maryland soil, and one of them rose to the 
rank of Lieutenant of the company, a company which left thirteen 
dead at Gettysburg. There were many of the name in other com- 
panies of the army of Northern Virginia, and I have never heard 
that there was a drone among them. 

H. C. Michie. 
Late Captain Company H. 56th Regiment, Virginia Infantry.

Since the war Captain Micliie has l)een Brigadier-Genei-al of 
Confederate Veterans. 

Many of the Mau|)in family emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky 
in the first settling of the latter, and located in different parts 
thereof; many of them settling in Madison County, later on a 
number of them went from Kentucky to Missouri. It can be truth- 
fully said of this family, generally they are full of life, high s])irited, 
lovers of freedom, and sport, true to their friends, generous to a 
fault, and whatever their imperfections and faults may be, and their 
faults do not exceed the faults of other good families, no one, 
rich or poor, high oi' low, peaceably inclined ever entered their 
portals without being received with hospitality, and made easy and 
welcome. The latch string hangs on the outside at their home. 
They are noi lacking in patriotism, are ever ready to enlist in the 
cause of their Country. In the Civil War this family furnished 
its quoto of soldiers. A true Maupin will not turn a hungry one 
from his door without feeding him, and if he is cold and naked he 
will clothe him.

CHAPTEK 2. 
THE MAUPIN FAMILY. 

Article- 1. — The name >Iaiipin, is of French origin, and is ])r(>noiin- 
cc(l as though is was spelled "Maii|)an." 

The family tradition is that one Gabriel Maupin, a French 
Huguenot, and a General in the French Army, whose wife was 
Marie Spencer, daughter of Earl Spencer, an English Nobleman, to 
avoid persecutions which were being heaped upon the Huguenots, 
left France near the beginning of the eighteenth century, and went 
to England. He was probably a resident of France at the time of 
his marriage, as some claim. However he did not remain in England 
very long, but soon sailed for America with his wife, and at least 
two children, Daniel and Gabriel, one of whom was born in France, 
and the other in England. His emigration from England occured 
very early in the century. He settled with his family in Virginia. 
It has been stated, probably correctly, that he died in Virginia in 
1720, after making and publishing his last will and testament, 
bearing date, Dec. 2, 1719, probated Anril 20, 1720, and recorded 
at Williamsburg, leaving sons, Daniel Maupin and Gabriel Maupin, 
and a daughter, Mary Maupin (and perhaps other children.) 

'^ommunicaMon has been had with the Clerk of the Court at 
Williamsburg, in an effort to secure a copy of the will, resulting in 
intelligence from the clerk, that the records of the Court were des- 
troyed by fire during the Civil War, which misfortune wiped out 
much valuable early and interesting history of the family. 

Daniel Maupin married Margaret Via, and died in Albemarle 
County, Va., in 1788, leaving his last will and testament, which is 
of record at Charlottesville, a copy of which is exhibited in Chapter 



39'3 IJistori/ and Genealogies 

3, in connection with the further history of Daniel Maupin, desig- 
nated as Daniel Maupin, Senior. 

Reverend Edgar Woods, in his History of Albemarle, published 
in 1901, states that "Two brothers, Daniel and Gabriel Maupin, came 
to the County just before the middle of the last century. 

Daniel entered more than fifteen hundred acres in the Whitehall 
neighborhood. He died in 1788. He and his wife, Margaret had 
seven sons, and three daughters: Thomas, Gabriel, Daniel, John, 
Margaret, the wife of Robert Miller, William, Zachariah, Jesse, Jane, 
the wife of Samuel Rea, and Mary the wife of Matthew Mullens. \ 

Reverend Edgar Woods, further says: "Gabriel died in 1794. 
He .seems to have lived in the vicinity of Free Union, and Thomas, 
Bland, Daniel and Gabriel were t^he names of his sons," and further 
says: "The truth is, the families of this stock were generally so 
numerous, containing hardly ever less than ten, and sometimes 
thirteen children, and the same names were so often repeated In 
the different households, that it would be well nigh impossible at 
this date to make out an accurate statement of their lines of descent. 
They frequently inter-married among themselves, and with the 
Harrises, Jarmans, and Via's and their descendants are widely scat- 
tered over the West, particularly in Kentucky and Missouri. They 
seem to have been in their generations an industrious, quiet and 
home people." 

Gabriel Maupin of Free Union, married Ann Ballard, daughter 
of Thomas Ballard a son of Thomas Ballard, who (the latter) set- 
tled on 32 acres of land near the foot of Piney Mountain, as early 
as 1738. (One Gabriel Maupin died in Albemarle County, Va.. in 
179 4.) Their children: 

1. Thomas Maupin; marripd Annie Spencer, sister to the wife of 
hi? brother Daniel. Their children: 

1. John Maupin: married Rosa Maupin, daughter of Daniel 
Maupin. 

2. Clifton Maupin: married Betsy Maupin, daughter of Dan- 
iel Maupin. 

3. Arthur Maupin. 
-k Joel Maupin. 

2. Bland Maupin, emigrated to Bedford County, Tennessee. 

3. Daniel Maupin: married Sallie Spencer, sister to the wife of 
his brother, Thomas. 'Their children: 

1. Pleasant Maupin: married Lucy Wood. 

2. David Maupin: married Jerusha Snow; died in Albemarle, 
in 1821. 

3. Rice Maupin: married Miss Carr. 

4. Gabriel Maupin; married Miss Mallory. 

5. Thomas Maupin: married Miss Gibson. 

6. Nicholas Maupin, emigrated to the West. 

7. Susan Maupin; married Daniel Via. 

8. Sallie Maupin: married William Via. 

9. Rosa Maupin: married John Maupin, a son of Thomas 
Maui)in. 

10. Polly Maupin: married Henry Gibson. 

11. Betsy Maupin: married Clifton Maupin, son of Thomas 
Maupin. 

12. Patsey Maupin; married Turner Woods. 

4. Gabriel Maupin, (one Gabriel Maupin, died in Albemarle 
County, Va., in 1858.) 

5. Ann Maupin: married George Turner, son of Charles Turner, 
in 1791. 



l/ishiiii nil-/ I li nrdhu/ics .■)!»;! 

II has ofit'ii been related in the family that the emigrant, Gabriel 
Maupin, senior, was a very devout religious man, and that when 
coming over I he sea the ship s])rang a leak, and the i)assengers be- 
came alarmed, and thought they would go down and be lost, and Mr. 
Maupin was called upon to pray. Whereupon he offered up a fervent 
and effectual prayer to the Most High, and the leak stopped, and 
when the vessel arrived at the American port, an examination of 
same was made, when it was discovered that the stopi)age of the 
leak was caused by a large fish in some miraoilous and mysterious 
way becoming tightly wedged in the crack. 

The Albemarle family of Maupin have usually been attached to 
the Methodist church. 

Daniel ^iaupin v.as an original trustee of Austin's or Bingham's 
meeting house. 

Daniel .liaurin, thrown as "Saddler Daniel," (.'^on of .John Maupin 
and Frances Dabney his wife) and his wife, Hannah Harris, nee 
Jameson, in 1834, gave the ground for Mount Moriah Meeting 
House, near Whitehall in Albemarle, which for many years went 
by the name of Maupin's Meeting House. 

The names "Daniel" and "Gabriel" given so often in the families 
makes it somewhat difficult at this date to trace the lineage correctly. 
The Daniels for identification bore such prefixes to the name as 
"Cuff," "Rough," "Tough." "Saddler," "Soldier," etc. 

After the letters A B C D E F and G following appear the names 
and brief history of certain one§_aL4he family, all of vi^hom except

M aupm and Margaret Via,Ld escribed in Chapter ?>, and the little 
history gathered ot them is set forth after said letters, that any 
one desiring to do so, may more readily trace their lines back. 

"A." Mosias Maupin and his wife Leah emigrated from 

Albemarle County, Va., to Madison County, Ky., and acquired 
lands and settled on the waters of Drowning Creek, which he 
sold, and on the 6th of Sept. 1804, he and his wife Leah, conveyed 
same to Joshua Dillingham, and Mosias Maupin emigrated from 
Madison County, Ky., to Missouri, and settled in Calloway County, 
where he died, Oct! 29, 1816. He had these children by his wife'

moved to Missouri, and tlieir home in Missouri was some dis- 
tance from that of George Maupin ia Calloway County. George 
Maupin represented Calloway County in the State Legislature* 
before the Civil War. The children of George Maupin and

plant, the distinguished and honorable William Jennings 
Bryan is the proprietor. William M. Maupin remembers 
hearing his father tell about the family coming orig- 
inally from Virginia and locating in Kentucky afterwards 
pushing further on to Missouri, but he left home at an 
early and tender age, and never seized an oiM'ortunity to 
compile the family history; his mother's death scattered

(^)iintv <il" .\lben)arle about 1727-0. 

He married Elizabeth Dabney, a daughter of Cornelius Dabney, 
senior, and Sarah Jennings his wife. (See Part III, Chap. 15, 
Article 2, Sec. 5.) .And known as "Cuff" Daniel Maupin, and he 
came from Albemarle County, Va., to Madison County, Ky., as early 
as 1785. He was a member of a company raised in Albemarle County, 
Va., in 1758, to guard and defend the frontier against the Indians. 
He was a witness to the will of Robert Harris, senior, probated in 
Albemarle County, Va., Aug. 8, 1765. 

The said Daniel Maujnn, prior to 1798, came from Albemarle 
County, Va.. to Madison County, Ky., and settled on the waters of 
Muddy Creek, where he acquired land, and where he lived till his 
death in ISO:!. On March 5, 1798, (D. page 381) Green Clay con- 
veyed to him 50 acres or land on said creek, adjoining Moseley's 
survey. 

He was styled on the record, as "Daniel Maupin, senior," of Mad- 
ison County, Ky., and another Daniel Maupin whose wife was Betsy, 
was styled on the record as "Daniel Maupin, junior," until the death 
of Daniel Maupin, senior, after which occurence, the word 'junior" 
did not follow his name on the record. There was still another 
Daniel Maupin, who at one time lived on Paint Lick Creek, whose 
wife was named Susannah. 

The name of the wife of said Daniel Maupin, senior, of Madison 
County, Ky., nowhere appears on the Court records of said County,

evidently was dead before he made his will, but she died in Madison 
County, Ky. He not only had children, but at least one grand-child 
as shown in his will.

of Albemarle County, Va., who was his acting attorney at law, and

first made and published his last will and testament, bearing date 
Oct. 11,_1802, probated Dec. 5, 1803, and recorded in Will Book A, 
page 2 7 7, by which he appoints his friend .lohn Harris executor. 
The will is in the following words and figures: 

"Daniel Maupin's Will." 

"I Daniel Maupin, of Madison County, Ky., being of sound mind,

citizens of Boone County, for during 
his long residence here, he filled many 
important public trusts. He was born

of that place, where the remains of Mr. Matipin will be interred 
as soon as practicable. Eleven children were born to Mr. Maupin, 
only one of whom stirvives, Mrs. G. B. Stevenson, whose faithful 
offices to the aged patriarch were so tender and constant, that 
they attracted the admiration and praise of all. When quite 
young, Mr. Maupin united with the Baptist Church, and his life 
may be s-aid to have been a Psalm. For sixty three years he 
believed in the doctrines of the church of his choice, and died 
ardent in his faith. He was a most charitable man, and his hand 
was always open to the needy and helpless. His fine social 
qualities made him popular with all classes, and his strong com- 
mon sense, aided by a good education, and backed by a moral 
character, that sustained no blemish, gave him great influence 
with the people. He occupied different stations of honor while 
a citizen of Boone County. He was elected Sheriff in 1830, 18 44 
and 1846, the last time without opposition. During his first term 
and on Dec. 13, 1831, the first legal execution which ever occured 
in the county, took place, the hanging of Samuel Earls, alias 
Samuel Samuels, who was taken to the gallows north of Columbia 
in a cart drawn by a yoke of oxen and driven by Adam, a colored 
man; the cart, oxen and Adam the property of Mr. Maupin. 
who superintended the execution. In 1839, he was one of the 
trustees of Bonne Femme Academy and took great interest in the 
location of the state university in Columbia, subscribing $200 to 
secure it. In 1834 and 1836, he was elected to the House of Rep- 
resentatives, and in 18 38, to the Senate of the General Assembly, 
which latter position he resigned in 1840. The El Paso, (Texas) 
•Lone Star, says, that on the day of his funeral and burial a great 
manv friends" met at the last home he knew to look for the last 
time on the grand old man and pay their tribute of respect and 
love to one who was to them all, an example in love, purity, 
cheerfulness, integritv and christian faithfulness.

ried Mary Walker, May 20, 1828, she 
was born June 18, 1812, and died Feb. 
3, 1844, by whom he had ten children; 
she died in 1844, and George Washington 
Maupin married the second time, Susan 
E. Haley, June 17, 1840, who bore him 
six children. 

Washington Maupin, was a most ex- 
traordinary man — the country, in his day 
and generation never produced & 
shrewder, better business man. He was 
blessed with a strong mind, well balanced 
and splendid judgment, with a good phys- 
ical constitution and other gifts. Al- 
though his education was limited, he was 
simply a power in the land. Apparently, 
he made money without extraordinary 
exertion, and accumulated a good estate, 
owning broad acres of Kentucky blue 
grass land, and large tracts in the south 
and elsewhere. Was ever charitable and 
free in bestowing gifts to poor people, and especially little poor child- 
ren. He was indeed fond of children, and rarely passed a poor, 
needy urchin, without giving it a piece of money, in consequence of 
which the children all liked him, and he was very popular in his 
scope, which was indeed broad. The hospitality of his home, plain 
and unassuming was noted. Nearly every one knew, or knew of, 
Washington Maupin. He had almost a national reputation. Was

fond of the hound and the chase, and none knew better how to get 
the best efforts of his dogs than he, and he procured the finest im- 
ported breed of dogs that could be liad regardless of price, but he 
made his sport in the chase profitable. He seemed to have untiring 
energy, and for endurance, he could not be excelled. 

He was at one time elected by the voters of his county to repre- 
sent them in the Legislature, but that office did not suit his fancy, 
and he resigned. He lived for a time in his earlier life in the State 
of Missouri, but preferring his native state returned to Kentucky, 
and spent his remaining days in Madison County. His whole life 
was an active one. He died in 18 65, thus ending the career of a 
most noble, generous, kind, charitable, brave, true and respected 
man. The memory of whom will remain in the mind of each 
acquaintance of his, as long as one of them survives. 

He furnished five gallant sons: Caldwell, Arch, Seth, George and 
Joel, to the southern cause, in the Civil War, who enlisted in the 
company (E) of Captain Robert Bruce Terrill, (their cousin) of 
the 11th Kentucky Cavalry, Colonel D. Waller Chenault, under the 
command of the noted daring raider. General John H. Morgan. Of 
whom, Seth and George, were Lieutenants, and Joel, corporal. Lieu- 
tenant Seth Maupin fell severly wounded at the battle of Mt. Ster- 
ling, Ky., which wound ultimately caused his death, his captain was 
badly wounded in the same engagement. 

Corporal Joel Maupin was wounded in the Green River fight. 

At Greasy~^-eek, Lieutenant General Johnson's Brigade, was 
cut off by the enemy, from General Morgan's command, and the 
general called for some young man, to volunteer to perform the 
dangerous and seemingly almost impossible feat of carrying a mes- 
sage through the lines of the enemy to Johnson, informing him of 
the situation, and how to act to save himself and men, and the 
young corporal Joel Maupin, (who was only fifteen or sixteen years 
of age when he enlisted in the cause) stepped forward and volun- 
teered his services, saying "I am your boy," which offer was accep- 
ted by the general, who patted him on the shoulder, and commend- 
ing him for his daring and bravery, gave him the message, and sent 
him on the mission of delivering same, with scarcely a ray of hope 
that he would return alive, but young Maupin, nothing doubting, and 
undaunted, with as good a horse as the country could produce, 
presented to him by his father when he entered the army, mounted 
his fleet stud — well spurred — and with all the swiftness of his 
charger, dashed through the lines of the enemy, with the enemy's 
bullets flying around him thick and fast, but most miraculously he 
went through unhurt, and delivered the message to Johnson, which 
resulted in the saving of Johnson and his men from being captured. 
And he returned safely to General Morgan with the news of the 
accomplishment of his mission and received the praises and plaudits 
of the General and his whole command for his brave and heroic 
act. First wife's children: 

1. James W. Maupin: died a bachelor.

Let it be stated that seemingly nearly every one of the numerous 
branches springing from the first Gabriel Maupin, who landed on 
American soil, for many generations had a son, Daniel, and many 
of them a son, Gabriel, and in fact down to the present generation 
some bear the name Daniel, resulting in several Gabriels and many 
Daniels, and among them occured frequent intermarriages, the lapse 
of time, breaks and losses in the family records, and other circum- 
stances, so complicate the lines that at this date it is very doubt- 
ful, if an absolute correct trace of all the lines can be followed by 
any one, unless favored with ample means, time, inclination and a 
great deal of laborious research and thought. Therefore it is very 
probable, some errors herein occur. But in the main the families 
springing from Daniel and his wife Margaret Via, through their 
children, Daniel, who married Elizabeth Dabney, John, who married 
Frances Dabney, Mary, who married Matthew Mullins, can be easily 
traced and it is believed that so far as we have gone into these 
branches, and dealing with them, the record herein made is sub- 
stantially correct.

Article ii. — Ttenis Concerniiis tlio \anie Oklhani. 



Section 1. From the Oldham Daily Standard, published in Old- 
ham, England, of date Wednesday, Nov. 8, 19 05. "The story of 
Oldham." How did it originate? A question from over sea. 

"We have received the following letter from Mrs. Kate Oldham 
Miller, of Richmond, Ky., U. S. A.: — 

"If you find it in your power, and convient to do so, will you 
give me some account of the origin of the name of your town? My 
ancestors for some generations have lived in the United States of 
America, but they were of English extraction, and I am endeavoring 
in a blind sort of way to learn something of the English branch of 
the family. If you can forward this communication to some one 
who can probably give me some information about the Oldham 
family, and if anything is known of the migration of some of them 
to America, and who they were, I shall esteem it a great favor. 
Should you prove yourself so kind as to become interested to this 
extent on my behalf, please lay the blame for your trouble on the 
name of your thriving town, which persists in getting into the 
papers on this side of the waters from time to time." 

"On enquiries this (Wednesday) morning we learn on the author- 
ity of Mr. Samuel Andrew, the well known antiquary that it is 
merely a matter of conjecture what the origin of the name Oldham 
is. It was spelt in various ways. "Oldom," being one of the oldest 
forms. There is no connection between it and the words "Old Ham- 
let." There can be no doubt Oldham itself supposing it to mean an 
old hamlet, carries one back into "hams" and "tuns" as seen in the 
names of Birmingham, Wrexham, Sandringham, and other places. 
The name "Oldham" leads one to suppose it is of Saxon origin. 
Nobody can tell exactly what "old" means, except that it was the 
centre' of the old town. History records that the town itself was 
originally surrounded by seven holy crosses, which showed that the 
circuit enclosed belonged to an ancient order of knights, the Knights 
of St. John of Jerusalem. Within these crosses there were certain 
old privileges of British origin such as "the traces of the open field," 
which would in itself go to show that Oldham existed before the 
Saxon Conquest, and therefore might inherit its name from the pre- 



464 History and Genealogies 

fix "old" and the affix "ham" joined together. 

Perhaps some of our readers will be able to trace the writers 
family genealogy." 

Section 2. John Oldham, an English Satirical Poet, born at 
Shipton, Gloucestershire, Aug. 9, 16 53; died at Holme Pierpoint, 
Dec. 8, 1683. He wrote against the Jesuits, and was called the 
English Juvenal. 

Section 3. John Oldham, (first American ancestor) came from 
England on the Fortune and landed at Plymouth in 162 3, and was 
murdered by the Pequod or Narragansett Indians in the Narragan- 
sett Bay, near Block Island, in 1636. His two sons, John aged 12, 
and Thomas aged 10, at the time they came over from England on 
the Elizabeth and Ann in 1635, were with him at the time and were 
held by the Indians as captives, and were given up under the terms 
of treaty with the Narragansett Indians, made afterwards. (See 
Chapter 3 8.) 

Section!. William Oldham. In June 1787, a military expe- 
dition under Major (Lt. Colonel) William Oldham upon the waters 
of the Wabash. He was one of the first Justices of the Peace of the 
Jefferson County Court. He was commanding a regiment under 
Governor St. Clair at the time of the Governor's defeat, Nov. 14, 
1791, and fell in that battle with the Indians. Oldham County, 
Ky., was named for him. 

Section 5. Captain John Oldham. 

At the organization of the first Circuit Court of Estill County, 
Monday June 2 0, 1808, in the 17th year of the commonwealth the 
Hon. Samuel McDowell,, Judge in the seat came — ^Stephen Trigg and 
John Oldham, Esquires, who severally produced certificates of their 
qualification as assistant judges of said court, holding commissions 
from Christopher Greenup, Esquire, Governor of this Commonwealth, 
and were duly seated and acted as such Judges. 

The Clerk Ro. P. Clark holding certificate of his quafification 
as clerk, signed by Ninevah Edwards, Caleb Wallace and George 
M. Bibb, Judges of the Court of Appeals, attested by Achillis Sneed, 
clerk, C. A. 

Oct. 19, 1812, John Oldham's Ferry across the Kentucky River 
near the mouth of Falling Branch, was established. 

Captain John Oldham carried the first drove of one thousand 
head of hogs from Madison County, Ky., over the mountains to 
South Carolina, herding them every night. He built the first brick 
dwelling house in Estill County. 

Section 6. Absalom Oldham, was the first sheriff of Estill 
Countv, his commission from the Governor bearing date March 17, 
1808." 

Section 7. Hezekiah Oldham, at February term 1810, of the 
Estill County Court, was appointed third inspector of hemp, flour 
and tobacco, at Water's inspection. Hezekiah Oldham at the solic- 
itation of Major McClannahan of the Richmond branch of the old 
Northern Bank of Kentucky, went from Richmond, Ky., to Louisville 
with vv'agons and teams and a negro servant and hauled thousands 
of dollars of gold, two wagon loads, with goods and gold from 
Louisville to the Richmond branch of said bank, and there safely 
delivered the gold, this occured way back in an early day; before 
the day of railroads, when transports were by wagons and team, the 
countr.v sparsley settled. 

It was indeed a hazardous undertaking. The bank officials at 
Louisville calling aside Major McClannahan, said "You are taking a 



liistuni (Did Genealogies 465 

murderous risk, it cannot be possible that you mean to trust this 
gold without guard through one hundred and twenty miles of the 
country, much of the road running through a wild unsettled wilder- 
ness in the hands of this one white man, and his negro slave. 
McClannah laughingly replied, "We will risk it, there is nothing 
between here arid Richmond that can tempt, corrupt or overpower 
that man, he will not be turned from the integrity of his purpose, 
and will defend the last dollar with his life. On the way the 
precious load was left in apparent carelessness, though the secret 
eye of Mr. Oldham was never off of it, and no one suspected other- 
wise than that he was carrying a load of ordinary goods or pro- 
visions to the interior as was common in those days. 

Section 8. Zerah Oldham, on 16th day of Nov., 181 Fj, qualified 
as constable of Estill County, with Absalom Oldham and Alexander 
Collins, as his securities. 

Section 9. Members of the Kentucky Legislature: 
In the House of Representatives: 
Absalom B. Oldham, from the County of Estill 1819. 
Judge, John P. Oldham, from the County of Jefferson 1828. 
Abner Oldham, from the County of Madison 18 43. (C) 

Section 10. Jesse Oldham. 

"Twetty's Fort, or the Little Fort, built March 26, 1775, about 
five miles from Richmond, 132 feet over one mile south west from 
Estill's old station in Madison County, Ky., on a small branch of 
Taylor's Fork (of which no printed accounted was had until the 
publication of Collin's late Kentucky History.) Deposition of Jesse 
Oldham on file in suit in the Circuit Court, says that it was built 
the day after the Indian attack, before the break of day, upon Boone 
and Twetty's company about 100 yeards from Boone's Trace, in 
square form, about six or seven feet high, of logs, as a protection 
against surprises or sudden attacks of the Indians, was not covered 
and the wounded bodies of Captain William Twetty and his ward, 
young Felix Walker, were removed into it, and there nursed. 

On the second day after it was built Capt. Twetty, who was shot 
in both knees, died and was buried in the fort, and the company re- 
mained to nurse young Walker until April 1, (1775) and part of 
them probably until April 6, (1775) when he was well enough to 
be removed \o Boonsborough." The fort was never finished, nor 
again occupied as a fort, but allowed to rot down and disappear. 
For six years, was one of the best known and most noted localities 
in what is now Madison County. 

Section 11. Office of Ro. L. Mitchell, clerk Superior Court, 
Caswell County. 

Yanceyville, N. C, Jan. 10, 1906. 
Dear Sir: — Yours to hand, I find only three Oldhams names 
mentioned on our records, Elizabeth Oldham, wife of Jesse Oldham, 
who had property willed her by Mary Simpson in 179 8. Susannah 
Oldham, who had property willed her by Mayfield Hensley in 1801, 
and Mary Oldham's children willed property by John Rire in 1S04. 
I find where no Oldham willed any property. I hope that the above 
mav be of some service. Sorry I can't give more. I am yours truly, 

R. L. Mitchell, Clerk. | 

Section 12. Clerk's Office Circuit Court, Prince William County, 
E. Nelson, Clerk. 

Manassas, Va., Jan. 15, 1906._ 
Dear Sir: — Yours received, and after a careful examination I 
am unable to give you but little information. I find in 1770, Dec. 
5, Wiliam Oldham, conveyed to James Tyler, a tract of land in this 
(30) 



46G History and Genealogies 

County, 109 acres. In 1762, William Oldham conveyed to Foushee, 
a tract of land in same County, and the name of William Oldham 
is the only one I find on our records. I am sorry I can do no bettel" 
for you, but the war played havoc with our record. Yours truly, 

E. Nelson." 

Section 13. Office of Fanquier Circuit Court, John R. Turner, 
Clerk, A. R. Bartenstien, Deputy Clerk. 

Warrenton, Va., Jan. 9, 1906. 
W. H. Miller, Esquire. 

Sir: Your letter of the 6th inst., at hand. This County's 
Records commence in 17 59, and I suppose that the name Oldham 
was an English one, who left here prior to the cutting off of the 
County, from Prince William County. A. R. Bartenstien. 

Section 14. Major William Oldham, born near Brookstown, 
in Madison County, Ky., in 1802. (See Chap. 13 a Section 1.) He 
emigrated to Texas in the early thirties, and bought a Mexican title 
to a large body of Brazos River bottom land. In 1842 Major Old- 
ham, his relative Thomas Oldham, (See Chap. 39, Sec. 3), and "Big 
Foot" Wallace (See Part 4, Chap. 1, Art. 3, Sec. 37) were of a com- 
pany of Texans who chased a very superior force in point of num- 
bers of Mexicans across the Rio Grande into Mexico with the result 
as graphically told in the sketches set forth in Chapter 13 a. 
Section 1. He was a Major in the Mexico-Indian-Texan wars. 

Section 15. Mary Oldham, maid from England came over in the

CHAPTER 2. 
THE OLDHAM FAMILY. 

Article 1. — It is believed that all persons in the colonies prior to 
the Revolution who bore the name, were of kin, save such as 
may have acquired the name by adoption. 

The familv is of an heroic race, old Saxon, as the name implies 
"Aldholm," litterly "Oldhome." The "Aid," was translated "Old"' 
which was correct, while "holm" for "home" was translated "ham" 
an old English law term, from which "hamlet" is derived, according 
to some philologers. 

The name came into England with the Saxons more than fourteen 
hundred years ago, and into this country more than two hundred 
and eighty years ago, when Captain John Oldham came to the shores 
of Connecticut. 

Mr. Patterson, Professor of Philosophy and President of the State 
Agricultural College at Lexington, Ky., a philologist, gives as the 
meaning of the name Oldham as Anglo-Saxon, and means "Oldhome," 
the Anglo-Saxon for 'home," being "hame," the "e" was dropped 
in the course of time. Oldhams were on this side of the water as 
early as 1621. Mary Oldham maid, came over from England in the 
Fortune in Nov. 1621. John Oldham of Plymouth, New England, 
came to Plymouth in 1623, and was murdered by the Indians in his 
Shallop, in Narragansett Bay, off the coast of Block Island in 1636. 

The family tradition is "that in the early part of the eighteenth 
century, three Welsh brothers came to America and settled in differ- 



468 History and Genealogies 

ent sections of the colony of Virginia, branches subsequently run- 
ning southward, and settling on the Dan and Yadkin Rivers in North 
Carolina, and some in South Carolina many later on emigrating 
to Kentucky." This tradition is somewhat at variance with other 
accounts. Family Trees, etc, of other branches of the Oldham family, 
running their lineage back to John Oldham, who came from London, 
England, in 1635, and settled in Virginia. Such early emigrations of 
course did not prevent subsequent ones. In the last days of the 
seventeenth and the first days of the eighteenth century a flood of 
emigrants came into America from England and elsewhere, and 
settled in the colonies. Many of them stopped for a time in Pennsyl- 
vania and more northerly parts, and moved southward to Virginia 
and other parts of the country. 

The impressive family tradition that the three Oldham brothers 
came and settled in Virginia cannot be easily erased from the minds 
of our branch of the family, who, when speaking of their ancestors, 
the same is the uppermost thought with them. "And that the young- 
est of said brothers was William, who was only a youth ten or 
twelve years of age when he came, and was raised to maturity by 
his oldest brother, and that he married Miss Basey, and settled on 
the Patomac River. 

Our parent William K. Oldham ,son of Hezekiah Oldham and 
Mary Kavanaugh his wife, nov/ deceased, repeatedly said "that all 
the Oldhams in the United States were kin, for they all sprang from 
three Oldham brothers, who came to America a long time ago, and 
that one got separated from the other two, and was lost sight of." 

The impressions on the minds of the living members of our 
branch as to the names of the two brothers of William are vague, 
and uncertain, some think their names were "John and Edward," 
some 'John and Richard," some "Edward and Richard," and some 
"John and Moses." 

An extract from Paignes History of Cambridge, kindly furnished 
by Samuel Oldham, Esquire, of Zanesville, Ohio, reveals one Richard 
Oldham, in Cambridge as early as 165 0, and was first resident on 
the south side of the River, and died Dec. 9, 1655. His widow 
whose maiden name was Martha Eaton* married Thomas Brown Oct. 
7, 165 6. (His children appear in Chapter 3 8.) 

Diligent search, enquiry and investigation has been made, and 
correspondence had with Court clerks of various counties of Virginia, 
North Carolina and other places, and with many other persons, 
without discovering any other Richard Oldham, than Richard of 
Cambridge, until coming down through the years to the Richard 
Oldham who was born March 1, 1745, in the section of Prince Will- 
lam County, Va., that was cut off to form the County of Fauquier, 
and who was a Revolutionary soldier in the North Carolina line, 
and subsequently settled in what is now Estill County, Ky., where 
he died in 1834, a pensioner then for Revolutionary service. And 
next, Richard Oldham, who was also, a Revolutionary soldier, first 
a Lieutenant, then Captain and then Major, and who died in Madison 
County, Ky., in 1S36, then a pensioner and was known as "Ready 
Money" Richard Oldham, (See Chap. 4.) And next Major Richard 
Oldham, (son of Lieutenant, Colonel William Oldahm who fell at 
at St. Clairs defeat) born in 1787, was Major in the war of 1812, 
and died in 1835. Since there has been many Richard Oldhams, nor, 
has any Moses Oldham been found, till the Moses, son of William, 
of Prince William County, Va., who was a Revolutionary soldier in 
the North Carolina line, who removed from Caswell County, N. C, 
to Montgomery County, Tenn., where he was living in 1804. Since 
there has been several Moses Oldhams. 



History and Genealogies 469 

Tradition in the absence of record evidence is better than nothing, 
but, at best, is apt to be incomplete, full of error, and not very 
minute in detail. In the family tradition at least three generations 
probably have been lost sight of, and omitted from the reckoning. 

The Oldham Tree, printed in Chapter 41 sets forth Lieutenant 
Colonel William Oldham, who fell in the battle of St. Clairs defeat 
Nov. 4, 1791, (wife Penelops Pope) as a son of John Oldham and 
Ann Conway his wife, and the said John, as a son of Colonel Samuel 
Oldham and Elizabeth Newton his wife, of Westmoreland County, 
Virginia. The tradition held by the descendants of Captain John 
Oldham, v/ho died in Estill County, Ky., in 1831, is that William 
Oldham, who lived in Prince William County, Virginia, in 1745, the 
father of Captain John Oldham, aforesaid was the uncle of Lieuten- 
ant Colonel Williarii Oldham, aforesaid. 

If the Tree, and the tradition aforesaid be true, which the writer 
is unable to confute, then beyond any question William Oldham, of 
Prince William County, aforesaid, the father of Captain John Old- 
ham was a son of Colonel Samuel Oldham and Elizabeth Newton 
his wife, of W'estmoreland County, Va., whose lineage according to 
the Oldham Tree, runs back to the youth, John Oldham, who was 
brought from London, England, in the Elizabeth and Ann in 16 35, 
who was a son of John, of Plymouth. 

Colonel Samuel Oldham's home was in Westmoreland where 
he died. Lieutenant William Oldham left Berkeley County, Va., 
and settled at the Falls of the Ohio in Kentucky; the children of Wil- 
iam Oldham of Prince WMlliam, moved to Caswell County, North 
Carolina and part of them, from North Carolina to Kentucky. 

It is apparent that several of the Oldham family owned lands in 
the Counties of Lancaster and Chester, Pennsvlvania, some of them 
lived and died in Chester County, leaving wills. (See Chapter 38.) 

The Elizabeth and Ann brought over from England to America 
in 1G3 5, two youths John Oldham, aged twelve years and Thomas 
Oldham, aged ten years. 

Richard Oldham of Cambridge, Mass., was there as early as 1650, 
and was most certainly a brother to the youths, John and Thomas. 
The trio were certainly sons of John Oldham of Plymouth; some 
histories state that they were. John Oldham of Plymouth in 1629, 
or 1630, returned to England, and he was in England in 1635, the 
year said bovs were brought over; they would not have been brought 
at their tender ages, in all probability, if their parents or nearest 
relative had not been coming or already here. 

John Oldham of Plymouth w^as killed by Indians the next year 
after the vouth's arrival in America, and History states that "his 
two sons were held captives by the Indians." These two sons were 
certainlv John and Thomas, and he had them in his trading vessel 
(SLallup) with him, at the time he met his death. If the Tree is 
correct, the youth John had a son, Thomas, (wife's name probably 
Rachael Butcher) and this son Thomas Oldham, was the father of 
Colonel Samuel Oldham, of Westmoreland County, Va., aforesaid. 
(See Chapter 3 9 and 4 1.) 

It appears from the records of Prince William County, Va., that 
one William Oldham owned land in that County prior to 1762, and 
until 1770; he probably owned the land there, several years 
prior 10 the former date. In 1762 he was in said Couniry and con- 
veved to one Foushee a tract of land in said County, in 1770, he was 
in said Countv and surveyed and conveyed to James Tyler, one 
hundred and nine acres of land in the same County. He may have 
left Prince William about this latter date. It is probable that his 
wife had been dead a number of years. Were the records in tact. 



470 History and Gemealogies 

probably more complete data could be obtained, but the war played 
havoc with the records of Prince William County, as well as of 
other Counties of Virginia. 

In his application for a pension for service in the Revolutionary 
war, whilst a resident of Estill County, Ky., Richard Oldham states 
that "he was born March 1, 1745, in Fauquier County, Va.," but at 
that date Fauquier County had not been organized, and his birth 
occured in Prince William, for Fauquier County was carved out of 
Prince William and her records do not antidate the year 1759. When 
the application was made, it was Fauquier, and it was a very natural 
statement for Mr. Oldham to say "he was born in Fauquier." 
Estill County, Ky., was not established till 1808. Mr. Oldham 
settled on that soil in 1795, and now we say he settled in Estill 
County, and call himEstill County Richard Oldham. 

William Oldham, of Prince William aforesaid could not have been 
Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, mentioned above, who settled 
at the Falls of the Ohio, for the latter was born June 17, 1753, 
according to the record in his family Bible held by his widow, after 
his death, and was only nine years old when the deed was made to 
Foushee in 17 62, and only seventeen years of age when the deed was 
made to James Tyler in 177 0. He was not old enough at either 
date to legally transact business. 

It is hoped that in the near future the clear facts may be brought 
to light by enquiring minds and many of the present perplexities 
removed. The wife of William Oldham of Prince William tradition 

says, was Miss Basey, and the children born to them are set 

forth in the following sections, towit: 

Section 1. Jesse Oldham; married Elizabeth Simpson, settled 
in Caswell County, North Carolina, emigrated from there to Ken- 
tucky and settled on Otter Creek, near Boonsborough, in Madison 
County, where he died in 1814, of whom more is said farther on in 
this chapter as well as in Chapter 3. 

Section 2. Major George Oldham, of Lees Legion. He probably 
settled in Barnwell District, South Carolina. The state of Virginia 
granted him 2 6 66 2-3 acres of land, June 16, 1807, for war service. 

Section 3. Moses Oldham; married Mary Rice, a sister of John 
Rice, who died in Caswell County, North Carolina in 1804, and by 
his will devised property in Tennessee, to thee childi'en of his de- 
ceased sister Mary, wife of Moses Oldham then living in Montgomery 
County, Tennessee. For further history of this subject see Chapter 
39. 

Section 4. Conway Oldham, was a soldier in the Revolutionary 
war, and made claim to the United States Congreses for such service. 
The State of Virginia granted to Conway Oldham 4000 acres of land 
for services in the Revolution from April 1877, to Nov. 11, 17 82. 
Another Conwav Oldham, was second Lieutenant and was killed at 
Eutaw Springs Sept. 8, 17 81. They both served in the Virginia line. 

Section 5. James Oldham. The tradition is that he came to 
Kentucky and settled in what is now Estill County, Ky. 

Section 6. Richard Oldham, born March 1, 1745, in what was 
in 17 59 Fauquier County, Va., which County was cut out of Prince 
William Countv. He married Ann Pepper in North Carolina, and 
died in Estill County, Ky., in 1834. Of whom more is said further 
on in this Chapter as well as in Chapter 6. 

Section 7. Captain John Oldham, born Nov. 10, 1757. He 
married Annis Rice, daughter of Hezekiah Rice and Mary Bullock, 



History and Genealogies 471 

in Caswell County, North Carolina, Feb. 24, 17S3. He died in Estill 
County, Ky., Nov. 17, 1831, on the Kentucky River just below the 
mouth of browning Creek. Of whom more is told in this chapter, 
as well as in Chapter 13 b. 

Section 8. William Oldham. The tradliion is tliat lif was a 
soldier of the Revolution, and emigrated to Kentucky and settled 
at the Falls of the Ohio, and at the first sale of lots of Louisville, 
was a purchaser, and was i)rominent in the early separatists con- 
ventions held at Danville. If so, there may have been two William 
Oldhams who settled at the Falls. 

Section 9. Judith Oldham. It is said that she married Mr. 
Bennett in North Carolina. 

Note: "One Fisher R. Bennett, wife Judah, acquired lands on 
the Kentucky River in Madison County, Ky., where they were living 
in 1806. In Oct. of that year they conveyed sixty acres of land to 
Carroll Fades of Clark County. Ky., and Fisher R. and Richard 
Bennett conveyed land to John Bennett. 

Notes: In 1799, Sarah Bennett conveyed land to her son, Peter 
H. Benneef. Her will was probated Oct. 7, 1816, naming her child- 
ren: 1. Ann Beennett. 2. Sarah Bennett, the wife of Mr. Rice, 
(their two youngest children being, Taletus Rice, Nancy Rice.) 
3. Polly Bennett, wife of Charles Anderson. 4. William Bennett, 
wife Nancy. 5. Susannah Bennett, wife of Thomas Pussley. 6. 
Peter H. Bennett. 7. John Bennett (had four children, the oldest, 
Elizabeth Bennett. (At this date there were two John Bennetts in 
Madison County, Ky., one of them was a son of the testator, Sarah 
Bennett.) 8. NancyBennett, the wife of Mr. Rayburn. By reference 
to Chapter 39, it will be seen that Moses Oldham, had a daughter 
Sallie, wife of Mason Bennett, probably the testatrix Sarah. 

In 1803, Elijah Bennett and wife Patsey conveyed land to 
Thomas Thorpe. 

Moses Bennett's will was probated Oct, 2, 1843. He sold home he 
bought of John Maupin, lies about five miles north east of Richmond, 
on the great road that leads from Richmond to the mouth of Muddy 
Creek, and is now owned and occupied by James Noland as a home. 
His children in the will: 

1. Patsey Bennett. 

2. Lenuel D. Bennett. Whose son: 

1. Dr. H. J. Bennett, now living near Silver Creek, south west 
of Richmond on the Lancaster Road. 

3. Sophia Bennett, wife of Mr. Ross. 

4. Sabrnia Bennett, the wife of Dr. Edmund R. McCreary, 
they were married Nov. 15, 1832, and were the parents of: 

1. Hon. James B. McCreary, formerly Governor of Kentucky, 
State Legislator, Speaker of the House, United States Congress- 
man, United States Senator, serving on many important Com- 
mittees. Noted politican and statesman, was also a Major, and 
promoted Lieutenant Colonel in the Confederate Army in the 
Civil War. Of whom his men were fond, with whom he would 
divide his blanket and bread. He married Miss Hughes. 

2. Mattie McCreary: married Thomas C. Bronston. (See Part 
V, Chap. 13, Sec. 7-7-9.) 

Section 10. Elizabeth Oldham, tradition says she married Mr. 
Pepper, in North Carolina. 

Section 11. Miss Oldham; married Mr. Battershell. 

"Mr. Thompson B. Oldham, born in 1819, now living with his 



4?Ji History mid Genealogies 

daughter near Burgin, Ky., says: "When a young man I was travell- 
ing through the Mountains of Eastern Kentucky and stopped at a 
house and the land-lady informed me that she was kin to me, and 
said her mother Mrs. Battershell, was a sister to my grand-father, 
which I did not know, but when I returned home I related this to my 
Aunt Betsy Fisher, and she said "yes, my father had a sister to marry 
a Battershell, who the family lost sight of, and knew not what had 
become of them. 

The greater part of our branch of the family went from Virginia 
and settled on the Dan and Yadkin Rivers in North Carolina, prin- 
cipally in Caswell County. They all left that country about the same 
time, probably about the year 1789. Moses went to Montgomery 
County, Tenn., Major George, probably to Barnwell District, South 
Carolina, and the others, save probably, Conway, to Kentucky. A 
note from the clerk of the Caswell Superior court follows: "Yancey- 
ville, North Carolina July 31, 1906." I hand you herewith a list of 
all transactions of record in our Court, it seems that the Oldhams 
all left here about one time. R. L. Mitchell. (Clerk.) The list towit: 

"A grant from State Governor, Richard Caswell, to 

George Oldham, 1779. 
Jesse Oldham, 1779. 
Moses Oldham, 1779. 
Richard Oldham, 1782. 
George Oldham, 1783. 
Richard Oldham, 1783. 
"Deed from Jesse Oldham and wife Elizabeth to Tyre Harris, 1783. 
George Oldham to John Williams. 1787, 
Richard Oldham to George Barker, 1787. 
George Oldham to William Bruette, 17 88. 
Richard Oldham to George Barker, 1789. 
Jesse Oldham and wife Elizabeth to Thomas Hornbuckle, 17 87. 
Jesse Oldham and wife Elizabeth to Thomas Bruette, 1787. 
Moses Oldham to Thomas Foster, 1789. 
James Oldham to Dudley Ballard, 1787. 
Moses Oldham to Daniel Buford, 1791. 

"April Court 1810. Then I find a power of attorney that is v/rit- 
len as follows: "That we Moses Oldham of Montgomery County, 
Tenn., husband of Mary Oldham, deceased, sister of John Rice, de- 
ceased, George Oldham, Jesse Oldham, Moses Oldham, Joel Oldham, 
Sallie Bennett and husband, Mason Bennett. Liddy Branthy and 
husband, Abram Branthy, Conway Oldham and Elisha Oldham, by 
their father, Moses Oldham, have constituted and appointed Solomon 
Debow lawful attorney to make choice of certain parcels of land in 
Tennessee, and elsewhere devised to us by John Rice deceased." 

Evidently this family were closely related to the Conway family. 
So many of them naming a son Conway, would lead one to think 
so. 

Conway, Jesse, Moses, Richard, James and Captain John, enlisted 
in the Revolutionary army, the four latter from Caswell County, N. 
C, in the line of said state, and served during the remainder of the 
war. George was a Major of Lee's Legion. John first served as 
an ensign and then Captain in 1777, he was in General Gates Com- 
mand, when defeated at Camden, South Carolina, Aug. 16, 1780, by 
the British under Cornwallis, in said battle the standard bearer was- 
shot, and Captain Oldham seized the standard and bore it till the 
defeat of his commander. He was after chis placed in the com- 
mand of General Nathaniel Green, in which he remained till the war 
closed. He v/as in the battles of Cowpens Jan. 17, 1781, Guilford 



History and Genealogies 473 

Court House, March 15, 17S1, Eutaw Springs, and witnessed the 
defeat and surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorlvtown. His service 
stretched over a period of more than four years. Richard was in 
Captain John's Company, under Colonel Moore, and Cai)iain John 
was his brother, as shown in his application for a pension, lie served 
for more than four years. 

After the close of hostilities, and before the ratification of the 
treaty of peace, Captain John Oldham married as ahovc stated in 
Caswell County, North Carolina, where a number of his children 
were born. Jesse was married a long time before the war, and had 
a number of grown children, and several married ones, when he 
came to Kentucky from the Yadkin River with Colonel Daniel Boone, 
and was with Colonel Boone and Captain William Twetty at Twetty's 
Fort, or the Little Fort, when attacked by the Indians as related 
in Chapter 3. He assisted in the construction of the Fort at Boons- 
borough in 177 5, in which year he raised on Otter Creek not fa*' 
from the Fort, a crop of corn, among the first crops raised in Ken- 
tucky soil by white men, and returned to North Carolina, entered 
the army, and after the war brought his family to Boonsborough, 
and established his home near the fort, where he lived till his death 
in 1814. 

Ready Money Richard Oldham, Uhe subject of Chapter 4) served 
in the same war, lived near Jesse, and died there June 17, 1836. 
Abner Oldham, son of Captain John, was born in Caswell County, 
Dec. 2, 1783, and was tv.elve years old when his father moved 
to Kentucky. (See inscription on his tomb.) For military records, 
see Chapters 4-6-and 13 B, and 3 8. 

Tlie supreme court records of Caswell County show that Eliz- 
abeth Oldham, wife of Jesse Oldham, was willed property by Mary 
Simpson in 1798; that Susannah Oldliam was willed property by 
Mayfield Heresly in 1798. She was probably the wife of one of the 
Oldham brothers, George Conway, James or William, and that the 
children of Mary Oldham, wife of Moses Oldham, was willed prop- 
erty by John Rice in 1804. This branch of tlie family is traced 
from Fauquier or Prince William County, Va., to Caswell County, 
North Carolina, and from there to Kentucky and Tennessee; probably 
some of them drifted further south and to other parts. 

Jesse, Richard, senior, Conway, James Moses and Captain Jolin, 
were all in the battle of Guilford Court House, so also, was Major 
George of Lee's Legion, and on the night of that battle was born, 
Eda, or Edith, the daughter of Jesse Oldham, who came with the 
family to Kentucky, and died near Boonsborough, many years ago, 
ur married. During tlie battle an older daughter sat in the window 
of their home, and listened to the cannonading and the roar of small 
arms. These incidents were often told in the family, and there are 
some yet living who knew Edith, and remember hearing her tell 
them. 

^Ir. Thompson B. Oldham, of Burgin, Ky., son of Abner Old- 
ham, the oldest living of tlie name in this section says, that his 
father all through his life, repeatedly told him as well as other 
members of his family that 'Lieutenant, Colonel William Oldham, 
was his (Abner's) father's first cousin," this would make rhem 
sons of brothers, and that Abner's grand-father was named "Will- 
iam." 

Richard Oldham was born March 1, 1745. Jesse was many years 
older than Richard. Captain John was born, Nov. 10, 1757, and 
Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, was born June 17, 1753, they 
were contemporaries, and the family believes their relationship 
was as above stated. 



474 History and Genealogies 

According to some authorities Isaac Oldham who was in Captain 
John Vanmeter's Company of Pennsylvania Rangers from 1778 to 
1783, was the father of Dieiitenant, Colonel William Oldham, 
killed at Governor St. Clair's defeat, Nov. 4, 1791. That Isaac 
Oldham by his first wife had three children, viz: William John and 
Sarah, and that the three moved to Kentucky and settled in Louis- 
ville and Lexington, and that William was the Lieutenant Colonel, 
who was killed as stated, but this would seem improbable because 
the will of Isaac Oldham, was not probated till 1821, thirty years 
after the death of the said Lieutenant Colonel. It is certainly un- 
uj'ual for a testator to devise anything to a child who has had no 
existence for so long a time. 

One William Oldham, other than said Lieutenant Colonel, lived 
in Lexington and owned a cotton factory there as late as 1825, and 
one John Oldham, died in Madison County, in 1801, and another 
was in Russellville, Ky., at a later date as shown below. 

Notes of some Oldhams whose lineage we have not traced: 
John Oldham was living on Muddy Creek in Madison County, 
Ky., where he died in 1801, the clear implication is from the order 
appointing Samuel Elliot administrator of his estate, and that part 
thereof within the State of Kentucky, that he owned property in 
another state. John Harris was the surety on the bond. Daniel 
Miller, Henry Harris, Samuel Dent and Joshua Dillingham, appraisers 
who were all residents of Muddy Creek, and most of them came 
from Virginia if not all. and from Albemarle County. 

In 1807, one John Oldham, then in Russellville, Ky., held a power 
of attorney from William McBane, to sell and convey a section of land 
on Red River in Robertson County, Tenn., recorded in the Fayette 
County Court. 

William Oldham, earlier than 1825, wife Lucretia E. owned and 
occupied property on Main street and Town Pork of Lexington, and 
a cotton factory and house, and lot of ground, which factory Jie 
sold in 1825. to Drake and Gullivan, and in 1829, he sold other 
property to Edward Oldham, and bought of Abram Clay four acres 
on the south side of the Boonsborough road in Payette. 

William B. Oldham and wife Sallie Elliot, lived in Clark County, 
Kentucky in 1820. 

James Oldham, was a contractor for erecting the buildings of 
the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, and he built the wood- 
work of the first pavillion on the Doric Order, for the University 
with the four adjoining dormitories on West Lawn, which work 
brought him to the County, where he was induced to settle, and in

Staunton Road, immediately east of Mechum River Depot, where 
he kept for several years, a house of public entertainment. His wife 
was Mary Gamble, daughter of Henry Bambel. He died in 1843. 
(Rev. Edgar Woods, his of Albemarle.) 

Edward Oldham, wife Mary, prior to 1821, and to many years 
after 1836, lived in and near Lexington, Ky., and they had a son, 
Edward, and Rev. William Abner Oldham of Nortonville, Kansas, 
who once lived near Lexington, knew old man Edward Oldham when 
he saw him, and his son, Edward intimately. 

Lieutenant Edward Oldham, of the Plying Company, second

his estate was appraised by Alexander Collins, William 0. Jameson 
and William Morris, Oct. 20, 1820. 

Samuel Oldham, wife Daphney, prior to 1832, and later than 
1840, lived in and near Lexington, Ky., and owned property there. 

In 1835, Samuel Jull, executed a bill of sale to his grand son, 
Samuel Oldham of Lexington, Ky., of a negro man Levin, and a 
negro woman, Harriet. 

Samuel Oldham in 1838, on the Clark County record conveyed 
his interest in the real and personal estate of John Talbott.

The County of Caswell, North Carolina, was named in honor of 
Governor Richard Caswell, who granted lands to the Oldhams 
in 1779 to 1783. 

James Oldham. His children (and perhaps himself) settled at 
Oldham's Landing in Oldham County, Ky. We have not traced his 
lineage back. Attention is called to the fact, that Moses Oldham died 
in Montgomery County, Tenn., in 1867, and in his will devised prop- 
erty to the heirs of his deceased son, James K. Oldham. (See Chap. 
39," Article 2, Note.) 

The subject James Oldham: married and died leaving 

three children, two sons and one daughter, viz: 

1. I'riah Wright Oldham, was Captain of Company F. 9th Ken- 
tucky cavalry of the Union forces of the Civil War. He married 
Mary Conway. He and his brother, Andrew Jackson Oldham 
engaged as partners in merchandise at Oldham's Landing until 
1873. Uriah Wright Oldham, whilst on a business trip in Tenn- 
essee was murdered near Johnson City said state, for his money, 
which brought the partnership to a sudden close. After this 
occurrence, his widow Mrs. Mary Conway Oldham, with two child- 
ren moved to Carroll County, Ky., and she and her daughter are 
now residing at Carrollton, Ky. The two children, viz: 

1. Dr. James P. Oldham, born 1863, at Oldham's Landing, 
Oldham County, Ky. He graduated in Medicine in 188 6, from 
the State College of Kentucky, and located in Little Rock, 
Arkansas, where he practiced his profession two years. His 
health becoming impaired, for the improvement of same, in 
1888, he removed to San Antonio, Texas, where he now resides, 
practicing his medical profession. In 1891, he married Mollie 
Graham. Thev have one child, viz: 

1. Violet Oldham, born 189 2. 

2. Carrie Oldham, born in 1865, at Oldham's Landing, now 
living with her mother in Carrollton, Ky. 

2. Andrew Jackson Oldham, was partner of his brother, Uriah 
Wright Oldham, in the merchantile business at Oldham's Land- 
ing, until 18 73, the year his brother was killed. 

3. -Harriet Oldham: married Harrison Land. They had a num- 
ber of children, and emigrated to Illinois.

Westmoreland County, Va., the home of Colonel Samuel Old- 
ham, born 16S6, died 1759 or 1762, borders on the Potomac just 
above its junction with the Chesapeake Bay, and across the River lies 
Maryland. Some sixty odd miles in a straight line north west of 
Westmoreland, is Prince William County, on the Patomac with Fau- 
quier, formerly a part of Prince William, the home of William Old- 
ham, adjoining and Berkely — the former home of Lieutenant Colonel 
William Oldham, lying a little west of north of Prince William. 

The southern boundary line of Pennsylvania, binds Virginia and 
Maryland on the north. 



476 History and Genealogies 

Lancaster, with Chester adjoining it on the east, and York on the 
west, are Pennsylvania Counties^ the Susquehanna which flows 
into the Chesapeake Bay, separates York and Lancaster, these three 
Counties all touch the northern boundary of Maryland, and are on 
Chesapeaks waters. 

In the County of Chester, Robert Oldham owned land in 17 07, 
(some say Bucks) however he died in Nottingham Township Chester 
County in 1749, wife Mary, daughter of Jot ph White and Elizabeth 
his wife. They had daughters and sons, Edward and Robert. 

The following owned lands in Chester County, Pennsylvania: 
Joseph Oldham 17 54, Robert Oldham 1765 to 1774, and John Old- 
ham 1765 to 17 69. About 1750, Thomas Oldham (Junior) being 
suffixed because his father had the same given name, died in 
Chester County, and his widow Mary, qualified as administratrix 
of his estate. In 175 6, another Thomas Oldham, father of the 
one above named, styled senior, died in East Nottingham, his will 
mentioning his wife Rachael, (daughter of Zacharias Butcher) and 
daughters, and these sons, towit: 

1. Thomas Oldham, who was dead in 1750, and his widow 
Mary was administrator as above stated. They had a son: 

1. Thomas Oldham, (probably the owner of York County 
lands in 1779 to 1783.) 

2. William Oldham, who was dead, widow Sarah. 

Thomas Oldham owned lands in York County, Pa., 1779 to 1783. 
,The following owned lands in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania: 
Edward Oldham 1735, William Oldham 1747, Thomas Oldham 
1749 and Nathaniel Oldham 1749. 

The above settlements were all on waters tributary to the Ches- 
apeake Bay, and these people were all of the same stock. Proper 
investigation would make discoveries that would throw a flood of 
light on the trace and make clear the relationship. The North Car- 
olina family who emigrated from the waters of Chesapeake Bay, run 
back to the same original Anglo-American ancestor. The kinship 
of the family has been recognized by all its branches in the mul- 
tiplication of the Johns, Thomases, Josephs, and Richards, The 
name of Robert did not come into the family until after the marriage 
of Thomas Oldham, son of Thomas to Mercy, daughter of Robert 
Sproat. The name Samuel, seems to have been brought from 
England, for it has been a name common in every branch of the 
family in the states. The name Isaac, was given by Thomas to his 
second son, and has been continued in all branches of the family. 
A full notation of the given names of the family would show this 
distinctly. (See closing part of Chapter 38.) 

Matters of interest may be found in Brook's History of Medford, 
Winsor's History of Duxbury, Paige's History of Cambridge, Sav- 
age's Dictionary, third volume. Bond's History of Watertown, and 
Frathingham's History of Charleston. 

Captain John Oldham (of Plymouth) was the first representative 
163 4, of Watertown to the General Court of Massachusettss. 

In 1632 he and John Masters were appointed to advise with the 
Govenor and his assitants about raising public stock. John Oldham 
with John Dowil, obtained from John George a grant for a tract of 
land embracing most of the territory of the present cities of Charles- 
ton, Cambridge, Summerville and a part of Watertown. (See Proth- 
ingham's History of Charleston.) The grant was not valid, and the 
General Court granted Mr. Oldham a farm of 500 acres in Watertown 
April 1, 1634, which was long known after his death as the "Oldham 
farm." 

The theological differences between Rev. John Syford and John 



Ilislori/ and flcnraloi/ies 477 

Oldham with the Plymouth colonists terminated in 1627, by the 
exclusion of Syford, Oldham, Roger Williams and some seventy 
others of the colony. The Plymouth Colonists who cani(> over from 
Holland in 1621 were Congregationalists, whilst Syford, Oldham and 
others were church of England people. Oldham and Syford went 
to Nantasket, thence with Conant to Cape Ann, their home in 1628, 
well reconciled with Plymouth, but Oldham never returned as a set- 
tler of that colony. (See :;hap. 39.) 

The fireside stories in the family are that Mrs. Basey, the 
mother of the wife of William Oldham of Prince William County, Va-, 
was before her marriage Miss Garland, and that she lived to the 
remarkable age of one hundred and eighteen years, and cut a new 
set of teeth when one hundred and ten years old. And that Heze- 
kiah Rice and Mary Bullock, (parents of Annis Rice the wife of Cap- 
tain John Oldham) lived together as husband and wife, seventy five 
years. 

Mr. Samuel Oldham an intelligent, honorable, and venerable 
gentleman of Zanesville, Ohio, has taken many notes and had favored 
us with interesting and instructive letters, data and scraps of history, 
to whom our sincere thanks are tendered. (Se Chap. 3 8.) 

We here present copy of a letter written by Warren S. Ely, 
Genealogist and Librarian, Bucks County Historical Society, to 
Samuel Oldham, Esquire of Zanesville, Ohio, which Mr. Oldham 
furnished the writer, to-wit: 

"Doylestown, Pa., 10-10-1907. Samuel Oldham, Esquire, Zanes- 
ville, Ohio. Dear Sir: The bond of Jonathan Oldham administrator 
of the goods, rights and credits of John Oldham, late of Cheshire, 
in the Kingdom of England, merct, (merchant) with Philip Andrew 
as surety, is dated Aug. 22, 1698. The grant of the letters in Book 
A, page 2 6.5, begins: "Whereas John Oldham, late of Cheshire, in 
ye Kingdom of England, lately dyed intestate, as in affirmed, hav- 
ing whilst he lived, and at the time of his decease, goods, rights, 
credits, etc., in divers places within ye province of Pennsylvania, 
and territories thereto annexed, whereby the power and authority to 
grant letters of administration devolved upon us etc. 

Letters granted to Jonathan Oldham Aug. 22, 1698. The "In- 
ventorv of ve estate and chattels, rights, wares, and merchandises 
of John oidham, late of Cheshire, in ye Kingdom of England 
merchant, deceased, as it was shown to us ye appraisers. Afterwards 
upon ye 23rd dav of Aug. 1698, by Jonathan Oldham, ye adminis- 
trator," consists chiefly of dry goods in rolls, etc., showing that he 
was a merchant, as stated in the bond and letters of administration. 
P also included his purse and apparell. 

I found no settlement of the accounts of Jonathan Oldham as 
administrator, nor did L by diligent search, find any transfer of real 
estate to, or from either John, or Jonathan Oldham. ** 

I obtained the original papers in the estate, but they consisted 
only of the inventorv above quoted and the bond. Unfortunately 
there are no Orphan's Court papers of Phil. County, in existence that 
I am aware of until a much later period than this 

Respectfully Yours, 
Warren S. Ely. 

It seems bevond question that the intestate John Oldham, des- 
cribed in Mr. Elv's letter, was the youth John Oldham, who came 
over in the Elizabeth and Ann in 163 5, when 12 years of age, who 
would have been 7 5 years old in 169 8.

CHAPTEE 3. 
JESSE OLDHAM. 

(Named in Chapter 2, Sectoin 1.) 

Article 1. — Jesse Oldham, a son of William Oldham and IVIiss - — — - 
Basey his wife, was bom probably in Pi'ince William County, Va. 

He moved to North Carolina before the Revolution, and lived 
for a time on the Yadkin River, not a great distance from Guil- 
ford Court-House. He married Elizabeth Simpson. In 1798, Martha 
Simpson a resident of Caswell County North Carolina died, and in 
her will devised property to Elizabeth Oldham, wife of Jesse Old- 
ham. (See Chap. 1, Sec. 11.) Jesse Oldham came to Madison 
County, Ky., in the early part of the year 177 5, with the company of 
Colonel Daniel Boone, and Captain William Twetty, and was with 
them when attacked by the Indians before day break, March 25, 
1775, in which battle Captain Twetty was so seriously wounded that 
he died and Felix Walker was painfully wounded, but recovered His 
deposition which was filed in the Court states that "Twetty's Fort, or 
the Little Fort, was built March 26, 1775, about five miles from Rich- 
mond, (and 132 feet over one mile south west from Estill's old 
station in Madison County, Ky.,) on a small branch of Taylor's 
Fork. That it was built the day after the Indian attack before the 
break of day, upon Colonel Boone's and Captain Twetty's Company, 
about 100 yards from Boone's Trace, in square form, about six or 
seven feet high, of logs, as a protection against surprises, or sudden 
attacks of the Indians, was not covered, and the wounded bodies of 
Captain William Twetty and his ward, young Felix Walker, were 
removed into it, and there nursed. 

On the second day after it was built Captain Twetty who was 
shot in both knees, died, and was buried in the fort, and the company 
remained to nurse young Walker, until April 1, (1775), and part of 
them, probably until April 6, (1775), w"hen he was well enough to be 
removed to Boonsborough. 

Jesse Oldham, after the death and burial of Captain Twetty, and 
when young Walker had sufficiently recovered to be moved, went 
with him to Boonsborough, about the 6th of April, and he assisted 
in the building and completion of the Fort at Boonsborough, which 
work was not completed until June 14, 1775, and he made one of 
the force of the defenders of the fort against the besieges made by 
the Indians. 

Jesse Oldham was one of the men, who raised the earliest crops 
of corn in Madison County, Ky. He raised corn in 177 5, on Otter 
Creek, not far from the Boonsborough Fort — of the very first crops 
raised in the Boonsborough settlement, as shown by depositions — and 
probably no earlier crops were raised in Kentucky soil by white 
men. it seems that after coming to Kentucky in the company of 
Colonel Daniel Boone, Jesse Oldham returned to North Carolina 
and he and one or two of his sons, enlisted in the Revolutionary 
Army in the North Carolina line. He and his son, and his brothers 
Captain John Oldham, Richard, Conway, James and Moses and 
Major George Oldham, the latter of Lee's Legion, were all in the 
battle of Guilford Court House. 

Jesse Oldham died in Madison County, Ky,. in 1814, having 
first made and published his last will and testament, bearing date 
Jan. 28, 1814, probated April 4, 1814, and recorded in will book B.

He was indeed, one of the brave Kentucky pioneers and frontiersman, 
and deserves grateful commemoration of the good, patriotic people 
of the grand old commonwealth, he helped to settle, and especially 
Madison County, where his early conspicious part was played, and 
whose soil contains his bones. Much more could be said of ttjs 
noble character. The children mentioned in the will: 

Section 1. Amy Oldham; married Mr. Burton. 

Section 2. Richard Oldham, the individual described in Chap^ 
ter 4, who married first Ursley Williams, and second Patsey Reid, his 
father, Jesse, must have been considerably older than his brothers, 
and this son, must have been also, the oldest child of Jesse, and he 
possibly was very young when he joined the arm.y, which was often 
the case, for it took the young and the old to overcome the British.

nisi on/ II n (J Genealogies 481 

in order to proriire means to continue his education. Having fol- 
lowed this calling two years, he obtained a situation in the office 
of the District Clerk of Franklin County. Judge Nathan Green 
directed his study of law. In 1836, he removed to Payetteville, 
Arkansas, where he formed a partnership witli S. G. Sneed. 

At Fayetteville, Mr. Oldham soon established an eminent repu- 
tation, and in 1S42, was speaker of the Arkansas House of Repre- 
sentatives, in 1S44, he was chosen almost unanimously by the Legis- 
lature an dissociate Justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas, and

CHAPTER 8. 

ANN OLDHAM. 

(Named in Chapter6, Section 3.) 

Article 1. — Ami Oldham, a daiijichter of Richard Oldham of Estill 
Coiiiitv, and Aim Pepper his wife, came from North Carolina 
to KentiickY with her father, and on the 14th day of Sept. 
1809, in Kstill County, was married to Joseph Collins, 

The fruits of this union were the children named in the coming 
sections; 

Section 1. Williaam Smith Collins; married Mary Ann Bron- 
ston, a daughter of Rev. Thomas Bronston and Lucy Clark his wife. 
(See Part V, Chap. 13, Section 7.) Mr. Bronston was a prominent

TFi'shin/ mill GoicdJofiics 101 

2. Thomas Bronston Collins, was born near Richmond, Ky., 
Oft. \. IS 12; died in Paris, France, April 12, 1869. A scholar 
and patriot, yradualing with honors at Bethany College, Va., 
he was one of the first to 6sponse the Southern cause, entering 
as ]irivate in the Buckner guards. Afterwards Captain of Com- 
pany P, Kentucky Cavalry, was with Zollicoffer, when that gal- 
lant officer was killed at the battle of Mill Springs, Ky. An 
exile from his native land, he attended the Medical College at 
Brussels, after which he completed his studies in Paris, and 
practiced in the hospitals of that City, where he contracted 
disease of the lungs, which resulted in his death. 

"Your own proud and heroic soil, 
Shall be your fitter grave, 

She claims from war, her richest spoil. 
The ashes of her brave." 
He raised a Comjiany of Madison County men, Feb. 10, 1S62, 
of which he was cajitain. known as Company P, 7th, afterwards 
the 11th Kentucky Cavalry, his Colonel was D. Waller Chenault, 
under the command of General John H. Morgan. He was a brave 
and efficient officer, received a wound in the thigh at the battle 
of Greasy Creek. At the battle of Cynthiana, Ky., he became sep- 
arated from General Morgan's Command. His war record from 
that time on, is better told in the language of his own state- 
ment, made at Montreal, Canada, Nov. 14, 186 4, whilst a prisoner. 
His statement exhibits the bold, daring, fearless and true spirit 
of the man, which v.'as made on the occasion of his arrest, pro- 
ceedings and trial in the Canadian Court for his extradition to 
the United States. From the Canadian authorities he subse- 
quently made his escape, and went to Nova Scotia, from there 
to Germany, thence to Paris, France, and there whilst engaged 
in the study and practice of medicine, was taken sick and died, 
thus bringing to a close the career of a most noble, chivalrous 
and brave young man. From there his remains were brought to 
Richmond, Ky.. and interred in the beautiful Richmond Cemetery, 
and his grave properly marked by a monument. Here read his 
statement : 

"The St. Albans Raider. Statement of the Prisoner: 

Montreal, Nov. 14, 1864. 

The Prisoner's Voluntary Statement. 

All the prisoners made statements.** 
Statement of Thomas B. Collins: 
"I am a native of Kentucky, and a commissioned officer of the 
army of the Confederate States, now at war with the so-called United 
States. I served under the command of General .John Morgan, and 
became separated from it at the battle of Cynthiana, Ky. Having 
eluded the Yankees, I joined Lieutenant (Bennett H.) Young, 
afterwards at Chicago, knowing it to be my duty to my Government, 
as well as to myself, never to desert its cause, I owe no allegiance 
to the so-called United States, but am a foreigner, and a public 
enemy to the Yankee Government. The Yankees dragged my father 
from his peaceful fireside and family circle and imprisoned him in 
Camp Chase, where his sufferings impaired his health and mind, 
and my grand-father has been banished from Kentucky by Brute 
Burbridge. They have stolen negroes and forced them into their 
armies, leaving their women and children to starve and die. They 
have pillaged and burned jirivate dwellings, banks, villages, and 
depopulated whole districts, boasting of their inhuman acts as deeds 



492 History and Genealogies 

of heroism, and exhibiting their plunder in the Northern Cities as 
trophies of Federal victories. 

I have violated no laws of Canada or Great Britian, whatever 
I done at St. Albans, I did as a confederate soldier acting under 
Lieutenant Young. When I left St. Albans I came to Canada for 
protection. I entered an hotel at Stanbridge, unarmed and alone, 
and was arrested and hand-cuffed, by a Canadian Magistrate, Whit- 
man, assisted by Yankees. He had no warrant fo my arrest nor 
had any sworn complaint been made to him against me. About 
$9,3 00 was taken from me when I was arrested, part Confederate 
booty, lawfully captured and held by me as such, and part of my 
own private funds. I ask the restoration of the money taken from 
me, and my discharge as demanded by the rules of International 
law. The treaty under which my extradition is claimed applies to 
robbers, murderers, thieves and forgers. I am neither, but a soldier, 
serving my country in a war commenced and waged against us by 
a barbarous foe, in violation of their own Constitution, — in dis- 
regard of all the rules of warfare as interpreted by civilized nations, 
and christian peoples, and by Yankees too wise to expose themselves 
to danger, while they can buy mercenaries, and steal negroes to fight 
for them — who, while prating of neutrality, seduce your own people 
along the border to violate the proclamation of your August Sov- 
ereign, by joining their armies and leave them when captured by us 
to languish in prisons in a climate unwholesome to them, and in 
which they are almost sure to die. If I aided in the sack of the 
St. Albans banks it was because I knew the pocket nerve of the 
Yankees to be the most sensitive, and they would suffer most by 
its being rudely touched. I cared nothing for the booty, except to 
injure the enemies of our country. Federal soldiers are bought up 
at the rate of $1,000, a head, and the capture of $200,000, is equiv- 
olent to the destruction of 200 of said soldiers, I therefore, thought 
that the expeditions would pay. "I guess" it did, in view of fact 
also, that they have wisely sent several thousand soldiers from the 
"bloody front" to protect exposed points in the rear. For the part 
I took, I am ready to abide the consequences — knowing that if I 
be extradited to the Yankee butchers my Government can avenge, 
if not protect his soldiers. 

(At the conclusion of the above statement there were loud bursts 
of applause from all parts of the Court.) 

After the hattle of Wild Cat, and General E. Kirby Smith's 
march through Kentucky, and the battle of Richmond Aug. 30, 
1862, Captain Collin's Company was organized and went out from 
Kentucky with General Smith's army, and joined the command of 
General Morgan. His company was composed of eighty of Madison 
County's boys, as brave and daring spirits as ever shouldered a mus- 
ket. Morgan's raid into the States of Indiana and Ohio — in which 
was nearly every one of Collins' company, was never surpassed for 
endurance, dash and daring, being in the saddle twenty one days, 
without rest or sleep, save the sleep gotten while mounted and 
marching along — the poor creatures upon which the soldiers were 
mounted eating only what was handed by the rider whilst in motion. 
The following names appear on the Muster Roll of Captain Collins 
Company, most of the company having enlisted at Richmond, Ky., 
Sept. 10* 1862, towit:

CHAPTEE 13. A. 
MOSES OLDHAM. 

(Named in Chapter 6, Section 6.) 

-Irtirle 1. — Closes Oldham, a son <»f Richard Oldham of Estill County, 
Ky., and Ann l'epp«'r his wife, came from Caswell Coxiuty, North 
Car(dina about 170.">, and settled in Madison County, Ky., on 
Otter Ci'eek, within a few miles of Boonshoroujjh. 

On the tenth day of Oct. 1796, in the last named County, he was 
married to Ann White. This family subsequently emisrated to :Miss- 
ouri. The tradition is that Moses Oldham before leaving for the 
West, occupied most of his time in flat boats on the Kentucky, Ohio 
and Mississippi rivers, buying all kinds of produce and supplies, and 
floating same to New Orleans, where he would dispose of his stock 
and crafts, and walk back to Kentucky, through the wild country — • 
the tramp requiring many days of hazard and peril, but being hardy 
and courageous, the same was his delight. The children born to 
them were, viz: 

Section 1. :\Ia.ior William Oldham, was born at the home on 
Otter Creek in Madison County. Ky., in 1802. After growing to 
manhood he owned and lived on a farm near Brookstown, in said 
County containing three or four hundred acres, and Abner Oldham, 
a first cousin, and brother-in-law to his father, was his nearest 
neighbor, and Abner's son Thompson B. now living remembers Will- 
iam Oldham well, and has heard Ibsan tell of his visits to the home 
of his brother, William, in Texas, and of their w^onderful exploits. 
William Oldham was a trader on a large scale, while a resident of 



"502 History and Genealogies 

Kentucky, and in the early thirties formed a partnership wjth K. 
G. of Clark County, and they went to New Orleans with a large 
number of negro slaves, having sold the greater portion, Oldham 
entrusted the money for them with his partner to bring home, whilst 
he remained to make sale of the rest. When Oldham returned home 
he found that his partner had gambled the money away and mort- 
gaged his property to his father, and left the debts (for the price 
of about 200 negroes) for Oldham to pay. Oldham held what money 
he had, and in about 18 35, went to Texas, and bought a Mexican 
claim of three leagues of land, in the Brazos river bottoms, leaving 
his farm near Brookstown in Madison County, Ky., which his part- 
ner's father managed to have applied to the payment of a debt he 
claimed the partnership owed him. 

Thomas B. Oldham remembers seeing the drove of about 100 
of the slaves, including men, women and children pass his house 
starting for the south. 

William Oldham was never married. After going to Texas he 
served on the frontier, and in the wars with the Mexicans, and held 
the rank of Major, and his name was made famous on account of 
his part in border warfare. 

At the out break of the Mexican war, many recruits were raised 
in Madison County, Ky., and went to the war, among them Waller 
Chenault (afterwards Colonel in the Confederate army, who fell in 
battle in 18 62), while passing through Texas, Captain Chenault 
was taken sick and stopped at Major Oldham's home, was taken in, 
and there lay sick a long while and was kindly treated and cared 
for free of charge. Major Oldham told Captain Chenault, that when 
land got up so he could get something for it, he would sell enough 
and return to Kentucky and pay his debts. He owned a large tract 
of land on the Brazos river, lying twelve miles east from Caldwell, 
Burleson County, Texas, and his sister had also a large tract ad- 
joining. 

Major Oldham and a relative Thomas Oldham, (mentioned in 
Chapter 39) and Big Foot Wallace, (mentioned in Part IV, Chapter 
4, Section 4-4) were in the Maier Expedition graphically pictured in 
the clipping from the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Upon reaching 
the river near the town of Maier, Thomas Oldham, G. B. Burath, 
and ten other comrades were detailed to remain in camp and care 
for the horses, while the rest of the Texans crossed the river to see 
about provisions etc., and the fight ensued in which the Mexicans 
were repulsed, and the hand-ful of Texans took possession of a large 
building in which they forted, the Mexicans surrounded them and 
sent a flag of truce, saying they had 1000 more men and demanding 
surrender of men and arms, promising that the Texans should be 
fed and well treated. 

In the mean time, two of the company of Texans, Chalk and Sin 
Clair had hid behind a bunch of cane near the out side corner of 
the building and soon made their escape and went to the river 
and hailed the boys left to care for the horses to bring over the boat, 
the boys asked "Who are you?" the response was "Chalk anl Sin 
Clair." The boat was hurried over, and just as they landed back 
on the Texas side with Chalk and Sin Clair, the Mexicans called to 
them to bring over the boat, but no satisfactiory answer being 
given when asked "Who are you?" the boys knocked holes in the 
boa*^ and rank it, and hurried to camp, mounted their horses, each 
leading a horse, and started for home chased by the Mexicans, who 
followed for several days, some days being in sight all the day. 
Major Oldham became a prisoner in the hands of these cruel Mex- 
icans. At Matamoras they planned to escape. When their dinner

was brought to them, Cameron jumped in the door, and waived his 
hat, and all broke out, knocking the guards down and capturing 
their suns and escai)ins. followed by the .Mexicans. Xoi Uiinwin.i; ihc 
country tliey soon starved out for water as well as bread, and all 
except Major Oldham and one comrade (name not recalled) sur- 
rendered again to the Mexicans. Oldham and his comrade took to 
the niounlains and climbed and crawled in the hot sun in sight of 
the enemy for two days without water to quench their thirst and to 
cool their parched tongue and lips. His comrade wanted to give 
up, but Major Oldham said no, I had as soon die in the mountains 
as to be murdered by the Mexicans. They crossed over the moun- 
tains and found water and rested and started for home, and for 
three weary months without blankets and sufficient clothing and 
destitute of food, only as they found it in the mountains and on the 
prairies and often without water to the point almost of famishing. 
One day after they had done without water for two or three days, 
down in a deep gulch they found some damp sand into which they 
scratched and found water. His comrade would drink a little and 
Major Oldham would pull him away, and then he would get down 
to it, and drink as long as he could hold a drop, but their stomachs 
were in such feeble condition as not to retain the water at first, 
they took it turn about and stayed with the water till their thirsts 
were thoroughly quenched. Looking up they saw bees working 
out of a hole in the bank of the gulch into which they dug with 
their knives and fingers and got all the honey they could wrap up 
in a green deer hide they had, and there they camped for the night. 
After reaching the border of Texas they called at a Mexican ranch, 
hoping to get something to eat, but found no one at home. Winter 
was approaching and the shirt of his comrade was worn out, plenty 
of clothes and blankets were hanging on the fence, Major Oldham 
took a blanket, but his comrade, a very conscientious man, refused 
to take anything, until rather compelled by the Major to take a 
shirt. That night very severe weather set in and they came near 
freezing. To Major Oldham his comrade said that "the Lord sent 
the cold on them because they stole the blanket and shirt," but the 
Major always thought their lives were saved by taking them, and 
that the cold weather was coming any way. 

In 18 66, Joseph Alexander McMurry now living in Valley Mills, 
Texas, went to Burleson County to close up some business for his 
father, and stopped and stayed over night with Major William Old- 
ham, he was then living on his farm with his old slaves, who had 
not left him. He had cut a new set of teeth, his eye sight had come 
back, and he could see as good as ever he could, and his hair, eye 
brows and beard had turned black. Major Oldham was buried in 
the Austin City new Cemetery. The record of his interment shows, 
"1868," June 22, Major William Oldham, 66 male, killed by fall 
from Bluff of River." John Eckels lived near Major Oldham. The 
Major had a sister, Arzela, married Robert Eckels in Madison 
County, Ky.

to the task of reproducing the scene of "The Lottery of Death," 
the eyes of all the world will be turned upon the Lone Star, and all 
tongues will mention the names of the heroes of Mier in tones of 
wonder and admiration. 

But one of the famous three hundred who furled the flag of 
the Lone Star, where Mexican gore choked the gutte<-s is now alive, 
John Rafus Alexander, nearly 90 years of age, totally blind and very 
deaf, sits upon the porch of his comfortable home near Round 
Mountain in Blanco County, Texas. "Where the latch string has 
hung on the out side for more than half a century," ever willing 
and eager to tell the story of. old wars, and fight over the battles 
of the land he loves so well. 

Mier was an affair ignored by early historians. Many suspected 
improper motives and shameful conduct on the part of some of the 
leaders, while others openly charged General Fisher with cowardice. 
In the fall of 1842, General Woll, at the head of a Mexican army, 
made a dash across the Rio Grande, and by forced marches through 
a country that had been deemed impracticable for military oper- 
ations, he suddenly appeared at the gates of San Antonio; The de- 
fenseless city was easily captured, and after making prisoners of 
the Supreme Court and many prominent citizens, the venturesome 
General sought to return to Mexico greatly encumbered by spoils. 
The Texans sprang to arms, and enraged to frenzy by the massacre 
of Dawson's men, after they had surrendered, they threw themselves 
upon the retreating Mexicans at the Salio, and slaughtered them 
until they were saved by flight and night. Allowing the retreating 
army no time to rest or sleep, the mad Texans harassed it night and 
day, until the Mexicans, famished and bleeding were driven into 
the Rio Grande. There General Summerville disbanded the Texan 
army and ordered the men, volunteers, to return to their homes. 
Unfortunately there were several soldiers of fortune in the camp. 
Here was the material for the occupation of such men. Some of 
them had led ragged batallions across the Pyranees, others had 
defended barricades inthe streets of Paris; and another group, of 
which General Fisher was Chief, had been mixed up with the annual 
revolutions in Mexico. The cry of "On to Mexico!" was raised, 
and the drums beat for recruits in the ramp. The spirit of 
war was uppermost in the minds of the disappointed men who 
saw the Mexicans struggling away with spoils, and the blood 
of comrades on their hands. Old Mars was loose, and the 
orators made the enraged Texans hear the God of war striking 
his shield and itromising them victory. Three hundred of them seized 
their arms, and shouting the battle cry "On to Mexico!" they em- 
barked on the Rio Grande under the command of General Fisher. 
They carried the town of Mier by storm, and obtaining ijossession of 
a row of adobe buildings that commanded the plaza f they held 
the place through the dawning hours of a Christmas morning, and 
all Christmas day they fought as their comrades had fought at the 
Alamo, and San Jacinto. Three hundred against three thousand. 
The Texans understood the situation. They knew that Ampulia 
was coming by forced marches with 1,7 00 infantrv and a train of 
artillery. They ought to have retired, but the soldiers of fortune 
promised them victory. "Stand to your guns, boys," they said, 
"and we will lead you to the palace of Santa Anna, where you can 
open the dungeons of Perote, and release your comrades and run 
your arm to your elbows into the treasure of the Montezuma?. '" 

On the morning of the 2 6th the earth trembled beneath the roar 
of cannon, and grape shot fell upon the 300 like hail. Big Foot 
Wallace, Captain Cameron and Major Oldham looked toward the 



ULsionj and Gcucalugies 505 

river, hopinsz; to see a way of retreat. They saw long lines of in- 
fantry with fixed bayonets and cannon in every street. "Another 
Alamo," Wallace made the exclamation, and as the three returned 
to the firing line muttering, "Yes, another Alamo," Fisher fell. 
Again and again the Mexican infantry charged across the plaza and 
often a whole regiment was held at bay or driven back by the 
handful of Texans. Great breaches were made in the walls 
by solid shot, and sharp-shooters swarmed on the housetops. 
Every charge had been repulsed, the streets were thickly strewn 
with the dead, and blood was flowing in the gutters when the 
Mexican General made a demand for a surrender of the place. 

"I was standing near a window" says Mr. Alexander, "when 
Major Oldham called my attention to General Fisher and three 
Mexican officers, who were having a parley in the street. After a 
moments absence, Oldham turned to me, saying, "why John, the 
d — m coward is talking of surrendering." Yells of rage and despair 
drowned all other noise. Some said we were betrayed, others said 
that Fisher was not wounded at all. They called him a traitor. 
A dozen men were making speeches at once. I remember well that Big 
Foot Wallace said "Don't talk to me of Mexican mangnanimity, it 
means fill us with beans one day, and bullets the next." General 
Fisher's hand was bloody, but he could not have been badly hurt, 
for he kept on his feet. "Before we realized what had happened. 
General Fisher and a part of the army was moving out of the. build- 
ing under the protection of a white flag. All semblance of dis- 
cipline vv'as lost. Soldiers crowded about the officers asking for 
orders. Only a few moments passed and there were not more than 
a dozen armed men in our works. "I hated to surrender, but Old- 
ham said, "Boys, I guess we had better go with the rest and hope 
for a chance to make a break." 

"While we were stacking over arms, the Mexican officers treated 
us with the greatest courtesy, promising that we should soon be 
sent back across the Rio Grande." The Mier prisoners were first 
sent to ;\Iatamoras, under a strong guard. They arrived fa'niphec* 
foot sore, and perfectly sensible of the fact that the Mexicans intend- 
ed to violate every term of the capitulation. 

While staggering through the streets of Matamoras with their 
bleeding feet, bound in rags, and their swollen tongues black and 
cracked protruding from their mouths, Major Oldham happened to 
see a friend of his boyhood standing upon the sidewalk, the man 
was a wealthy traveler and he proved to possess a heart of gold. 
Touched by the wretched plight of his old friend and his comrades, 
he instantly poured $100 in gold into Major Oldham's hands. A 
few hours afterward he visited the dirty prison where the heroes 
of Mier were confined and distributed $1,000 amongst them. Mr. 
Alexander has forgotten the name of this noble man, but he said 
Oldham's children who live in Burleson County will remember it. 

The betrayed prisoners were next started on their long march 
toward the dungeons of Perote. "We were always talking of making 
a break," said the old veteran, "but all of our plans failed. We 
i)a?.'^rd through Monterey and Saltillo, and 7.5 miles beyojul. at the 
haciendo Del Salado, the galling j'oke had worn to the quick. The 
Texans were familiar with stories of the horrors of the gloomy 
dungpons of Petrote, and brave men with tears in their eyes, de- 
clared that they would rather die fighting the cruel guards than to 
tamely go on to vaults of darkness, where death by starvation and 
torture surely awaited them. "The day. was dawning at the Salado, 
"says Mr. Alexander," when I went out to stir up the camp fire. 
Brave Major Brenham — after whom the town of Brenhani v.as 



506 History and Genealogies 

named — and young Lyon sat there. Brenham said "I am covered 
with scars that I got in the dungeons of Perote. They will know me 
and shoot me the moment we get there." Lyon stepped to the door. 
He said "it is too late, that red-cap company are mounting their 
horses." "Brenham sprang to the door and seized one of the 
guards and Lyon downed another. The break had been preconcerted, 
but I did not know it. A wild yell "Liberty or Death!" was on every 
lip. Big Foot Wallace, Oldham and Cameron were first to spring - 
at the throats of the Mexicans. Brenham and Lyon were both 
killed. Each of us singled out a cavalryman, and about half secured 
arms and horses at once. The cowardly guards were paralyzed witlj 
terror, and they fled, or surrendered on the spot. We secured 
cartridges and rations and $1,400 in silver and galloped away from 
the haciendo Del Salado. If we had been governed by the advice 
of Wallace, Cameron and Oldham and kept the highway we could 
have defied pursuit and easily reached the Rio Grande. We fol- 
lowed the road for 75 miles, and we camped and cooked dinner 
almost in sight of Saltillo. Here many of the men became alarmed 
and they broke away into the mountains. The triumverate of braves 
galloped among the startled Texans, storming, threating and warn- 
ing them of the danger of plunging into the barren wastes, and limit- 
less solitudes, where there was neither water nor food, but all to 
no purpose. For days and days they wandered, famished and ready 
to drop dead from hunger and thirst. Some opened the veins in 
the necks of their horses and sucked the blood, others threw them- 
selves upon the ground and digging at the roots of cactus, they 
pressed the damp earth to their parched lips. In this condition they 
were captured by the humane General Mexia. He was so deeply 
touched by the wretched condition of the wanderers that he made 
his soldiers give them water and food on the spot. 

Santa Anna ordered Mexia to have every tenth man shot, but 
the brave, generous soldier refused to have anything to do with such 
an inhuman piece of butchery. The monster of ingratitude had no 
difficulty in finding a butcher. In the twilight, when the tired 
prisoners of Mier sat about the camp fires of the haciendo Del 
Salado, talking of home and friends so far away, a brute appeared 
amongst them with an earthen jar in his hands, by his side stood an 
officer, little less beastly in look, who told the prisoners to prepare 
for the lottery of death. A few words were spoken. It was whis- 
pered that those who drew death here, would escape the horrors of 
Perote. There were 159 white beans in the jar, and 17 'black ones. 
Brave Cameron advanced with his head erect, and the firm, proud 
step of one going to battle, "Well, boys," he said if we must draw, 
I will do it first. He drew life. The brave scout was doomed for 
Santa Anna had him shot some days afterward. The poor fellows 
who drew black beans were pushed in a group under a black flag. 
Their courage did not fail them. Two brothers drew together, one 
was lying sick on a cot. The sick boy drew life, but he put his arm 
about the neck of his brother, and when he drew death, the two 
nob^'^ boys exchanged beans. Those who stood near heard the whis- 
pered words, "you know I have got consumption, go home and take 
care of mother." 

That terrible night 159 Texans sat with their faces buried in 
their hands. They could hear the volleys of musketry that closed 
the earthly career of their brave, patriotic comrades and many of 
them registered vows that were not forgotten when war raged over 
Mexico a few years later. 

John Rufus Alexander, Major Oldham and seven others escaped 
into the mountains. Oldham was a born leader, possessing the cour- 



//is/ on/ (1)1 r] firrirnJofjlrs 507 

age and endurance of a Spartan. Alexander was young, strong and 
brave. The.se two stuck together, and after enduring incredil)le 
hardshi]).s, traversing parching plains and the inhos])i;able soli- 
tudes of rugged mounlains for :]00 miles without iiieeliiig a single 
human Ijeing, (hey finally reached the land of the Lone Siar, where 
they threw their living skeletons upon the soil so dearly bought, 
and wept for joy. The other seven perished or were I'ecaptured. 
The prisoners of Mier were thrown into the dungeons of Perote. 
Some were yoked together and made to draw carts on (he streets 
of the city of Mexico. 

Santa Anna's wife, an angel, saw them, and their misery touched 
her tender heart. She visited their gloomy prison and with her 
delicate hands she soothed the brows of the sick. She gave them 
little luxuries — luxuries to them — and she unlocked the chains of 
many. Whe;a this angel of mercy was lying upon her death bed, 
she called her cruel husband tp her side, and made him promise 
"to send the poor Americans to their home." He kept his word. 

In 1844 Big Fooot Wallace led the last remnant of the prisoners 
of Mier across the Rio Grande, and many got down on their knees 
and kissed the land they had helped to buy with blood and tears. 

I spent two nights and a day with this venerable old hero. "We 
had a hard time," he said "to wrest this fine land from the Indians 
and Mexicans, and make it a safe place for the countless thousands 
who now possess it. I am proud of my share."

when said General was defeated at Camden, South Carolina, Aug. 
16, 1780, by the British under Cornwallis. In this battle the Colo- 
nial Standard bearer, was shot down, and Captain John Oldham 
seized the standard, and bore it till the final defeat of his com- 
mand. 

After this battle he was in the command of General Nathaniel 
Green, until the close of the war. He was in the battles of Cow- 
pens Jan. 17, 1781, witnessed the defeat of Lord Cornwallis, and he 
was in all the battles participated in by General Green's command, 
after entering same, stretching over four years service. Here is a 
letter from the Hon. V. Warner, Commissioner of Pensions:

Revolutionary War. 

Madam: — 

Referring to the above noted claim, you are advised that 
neither John Oldham, nor his widow, Annis Oldham, ever applied 
for a pension on acount of his service in the Revolutionary war, but 
that on June 12, 1852, their son, Hezekiah Oldham, for himself 
and brothers and sisters, applied for what ever pension, was due 
their father and mother, giving the following data: 

John Oldham was born Nov. 10, 1757, and served three months 
as ensign, and Captain in Colonel Moore's Regiment, North Carolina 
line; he was in the battles of Camden, Compens and Guilford Court 
House, he died in Estill County, Ky., Nov. 17, 1831. 

He married Annis Rice, born March 4, 1759, on Feb. 24, 1783, 
in Caswell County, North Carolina; she died in Estill County, Ky., 
Marnh 14, 1840. The children's claim was allowed 

Children: Abner, born Dec. 2, 1783, Absalom, born Mav 28, 
1785, Hezekiah, born April 10, 1787, Caleb, born June 1, 1789, 
Mary, born May 22, 1791, married James Grubbs, Sarah, born May

Jesse Grubbs, John Rice, born July 14, 1801. 

Grand-children: David D. Narcissus, married Josiah P. Che- 
nault, Sophia, married Temple Burgin, Helen M., Thomas B., Mir- 
anda. Loui.'^a, -married Jonathan Estill (children of Abner) Othniel 
R, son of Hezekiah, John M. (P.), son of Caleb. 

Very Respectfully, 
V. Warner, Commissioner. 
Mrs. Kate Oldham Miller, 

Richmond, ^ladison County, 
Kentucky." 

Annis Rice the wife of Captain John Oldham, was a daughter of 
Hezekiah Rice and Mary Bullock his wife, of Caswell County, North 
Carolina, the said Mary Bullock was a sister of James Bullock, who 
settled near Walnut Hill in Fayette County, Ky. The Bullocks 
around Lexington descended from said James Bullock. 

Hezekiah Rice and Mary Bullock, lived together as man and 
wife seventy years. (See slip at foot marked "Rice.) 

In 1795, Captain John Oldham, his wife, and at that time six 
children Abner, Absalom, Hezekiah, Caleb, Mary and Sally moved 
from Caswell County. North Carolina to Kentucky, and he pre- 



Ilisiori/ (1 11(1 Genealogies ."ioO 

empted a large tract of land, in whai was then Clark, now Estill 
County, Ky., on the Kentucky River, near the niouih of Drowning 
Creek, and i)urchased other lands, and became the owner of lands 
on both sif^'f-s of the River, in both .\iadison and Estill Counties. 

Other children than those last above named, were born in Ken- 
tucky. Estill County was established in ISOS, and at the organ- 
ization of the first Circuit Court therc^of on ]\londay .Iun(> 20, 1808, 
in the seventeenth year of the Commonwealth, .Judge Samuel .Mc- 
Dowell in the seat as presiding .fudge, Stephen Trigg and .John 
Oldham. Esquires' who held commissions from the hand and seal of 
Christopher Greenup, Esquire, Governor of the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky, as assistant Judges of said Court, bearing date Feb. 18, 
1808, produced their separate certificates of qualification and were 
duly seated as assistant Judges, and Captain John Oldham held the 
office of Judge a number of years. His ferry across the Kentucky 
River near the mouth of Falling Branch, was established Oct. 19, 
1812, by order of the court. 

Captain John Oldham at an early date,, after becoming a resi- 
dent of Kentucky drove from his home over the mountains to 
Charleston, South Carolina, the first drove of hogs (1,000 head) 
that had been driven from Kentucky to the South — which he had 
ro herd every night — ^there being no lot or pound along rh*^ routp in 
which to confine the hogs. His young son Hezekiah (Kie) being 
with him to assist in the drive, which was a considerable undertaking, 
walking and driving 1000 hogs, through the wilderness from Ken- 
tucky to South Carolina. Afterwards he carried many droves 
to the Southern markets. His sons, Kie and Caleb, for many and 
many years, after growing to manhood and being thrown on their 
own resources, made it a practice every fall, to drive hogs through 
to the South, and became noted drovers, buying up all the hogs in 
the country that were for sale. 

The first brick house in Estill County, was a dwelling built by 
Captain John Oldham. He was a man of wonderful nerve, energy 
and endurance, very prosperous and just. 

After settling in Estill County, Captain John and his brother 
Richard Oldham, and his neighbors, joined in a successful effort to 
procure a school teacher. He wrote to a relative in Wales to send 
him a man qualified to teach school, -4n response a Mr. Hutchison, 
a learned English and Latin scholar, came from Wales, to the home 
of Captain Oldham in Estill County, and there taught the children 
of Captain Oldham and others and his oldest sons Abner and Absa- 
lom became good English as well as Latin scholars. Hutchison re- 
mained in Kentucky till his death, and taught school at other places. 

Captain John Oldham whilst he lived would make no applica- 
tion for a pension for service in the Revolution saying "he was op- 
posed to the pension law and would not accept its benefits, that it 
was the rightful duty of every patriotic citizen to defend the liberties 
of his country — that the soldiers in time, received their regular 
pay for service," and he held that "this sacred duty was degraded 
by the pension law." 

In his day the farmers wintered their hogs on mast. One season 
the acorns were scarce in Captain Oldham's neighborhood, and he 
drove his hogs up on Station Camp Creek to mast, and left his two 
oldest sons, Abner and Absalom, to look after and take care of the 
hogs, the boys made their camp, under a shelving rock of the cliff, 
in front of which they placed a log; they had with them two good 
bpiir-dogs. "Ring and Rover," and guns, the dogs however, were 
afraid of panthers. One night the boys went hunring, and rhe dogs 
treed a bear up a big poplar tree, they both fired tlieir guns at the 



510 History and Genealogies 

bear, and the bear tumbled out, one of the balls having struck be- 
hind the shoulder, bruin was badly wounded but not dead, the boys 
ran upon It, one with a knife, the other with an axe, and they soon 
dispatched the bear, skinned it and swang the meat upon some high 
forks, out of reach of the wolves, which were plentiful. On re- 
turning to camp, their father was there, with corn meal with which 
to make Johnny Cakes, and meat and salt; they brought the bear 
meat, and skin into camp. The next night a panther, scenting the 
blood of the bear, was attracted thereby to the camp, the noise 
made by the panther awakened Captain Oldham, who spied the creat- 
ure by the bright camp fire shinning its eyes, and presenting and 
resting his gun over the log in front of the rock-house camp, he took 
deliberate aim between the eyes, fired and dropped the panther 
dead, which was also skinned; the boys then had a bear skin "and a 
panther skin to help soften their bed. - When Captain Oldham re- 
turned home he took a quantity of the bear meat with him. 

On another occasion Captain Oldham mounted his horse with 
his gun in hand and dogs following, and went from nis home across 
the river to the Madison side in search of his horses, one of which 
was a bell horse, shortly his dogs came running back to him with 
their hair all turned up the wrong way. bristling with fright; hold- 
ing his gun ready to shoot, Captain oidham suddenly rode up near 
to an old she panther with two very young ones. He hastily fired 
and killed the old one, and tied her behind his saddle across his 
horse and captured the young ones alive, and tied them firmly to a 
sapling, leaving the string long enough for them to move about, 
expecting to return and get them after finding his horses, he 
found his horses and did return, but behold, the two young ifenthers 
had climbed the sappling and hanged themselves over a limb by 
the string and had died from strangulation. 

Before his death which occured Nov. 7, 1831, Captain John Old- 
ham made and published his last will and testament which bears 
date the second day of Aug. 1831, and was probated at the February 
Term of Court 1832, and recorded in will book B, at page 14. The 
will is in the following language: 

"The last will and testament of John Oldham, Senior, who being 
of sound mind, and disposing memory, do make and ordain and 
constitute this my last will and testament: 

It is my desire that my body be committed to the earth in decent, 
christian burial, with a hope that my soul will enter that rest pre- 
pared for those that believe in the name of the Lord. Jesus Christ 
at the resurrection of the dead. 

Item: First, I will and desire that my beloved wife Ann, have the 
house and farm attached to it of four hundred acres, also, all the 
household and kitchen furniture, or as much as she thinks proper 
to keep, one new ox cart, and four oxen, and as many of the farm- 
ing utensils as she may think proper to keep, and as much stock 
of every kind, as she may think it will be necessary for her to have 
to live on, such as horses, cattle, sheep hogs, etc. I also, give to 
my wife the following negroes, towit: Charles, Hari-y, Cebried, 
George, Huston and Nance. 

Item: Second, I will and bequeath to my daughter Polly Grubbs, 
a negro girl named Aggy.

have them valued, and that my children then divide them at their 
valuation. Also it is my wish that my executors sell the two tracts 
of land I have of one hundred acres each known by the Stillhouse 
place, and Stinson place, on the river above Major Alexanders, and 
that one hundred acres be added to each place, of the land I pur- 
chased of Allen, and sold with said tracts, also all the property left 
on the place, after my wife has taken what she wants out of it, I 
wish sold for what it will bring and the money arising from said 
sales, I wash equally divided between my children, and the parts

to be divided equally among the heirs as before named. It is my 
further wish upon the division aforesaid, that my daughter Betsy 
Fisher be charged fifty dollars for the child the woman had when I 
gave her to them, but not giving her the child. I wish her to keep 
the child and pay fifty dollars, which I wish to be deducted out of 
the money that may be going to her. It is my further will and 
desire that should my son, Caleb, not receive the bond for the money, 
but have to take the negro girl Ruth, that he receive seventy five 
dollars in money. Also that my son Abner Oldham receive seventy- 
five dollars in money to make their negroes of equal value with 
Hezekiah and John R. Oldham's, said $75, to each of them to be paid 
out of the proceeds of the sale of property, before any division made, 
then 'he balance to be divided. It is my further will and desire that, 
should I have any other property real or personal not named in this 
my will to be disposed of and the money equally divided as before 
mentioned, between my heirs.

History and Genealogies 513 

Thomas Rice, who was born in England, of Welsh parents and was 
an early adventurer into Virginia April 29, 1693. Obtained a patent 
for land in Kingston Parish, Gloucester County, Va., the land being 
due unto him by and for the importation of one person into the 
colony, and was deeded 1200 acres of land in Hanov^i- Count v, on 
both sides of Cub Creek and Dirty Swani]). In the latter pan of his 
life Thomas Rice owned a small plantation in ihe lowci- |)arl of what 
in 1.S24, was Hanover. Here he left his wife with nine sons and 
three daughters, and went to England to receive a fortune, which 
had been left him, but never returned. The sailors reported that 
he died at sea, but it was supposed that he was assassinated. No 
return was ever made of his property and his family were left in 
a destitute condition. The major part of the family moved some 
thirty miles further up the country where they procured a small 
plantation and raised numerous families. Among those who moved 
North was William Rice of Culpeper, who was among the early set- 
tlers, who came sometime before Culpeper was organized. July 29, 
17o6, he acquired 400 acres of land in the Forks of the Rapid Ann, 
in the County of Orange. His will bears date Feb. 9, 1780, pro- 
bated April 17. 1780. His children were: 

1. Richard Rice. 

2. John Rice; married Mary Finney, moved to the Shenandoah 
Valley, bought a large tract of land, and built on it and went 

back, and removed to Rockingham where he died in 1804. 

3. Benajah Rice. 

4. Hannah Rice. 

5. Ann Rice, the wife of John Graves. 

6. Sarah Rice, the wife of Edward Graves. 

The apostle of Kentucky, David Rice, was a nephew of said 
William Rice, and David Rice a brother to Benjamin was a lawyer 
of Bedford County, Va., and John Holt Rice (a son of Benjamin) 
was a D. D. and the first pastor of Richmond Memorial Church, 
and Professor of Theology in Union Theological Seminary, Va., 
and once Moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly, and 
another son of Benjamin namely, Benjamin Holt Rice, was a pro- 
fessor in Princeton. Many of the Rice family have been, and are 
lawyers, ministers of the Gospel, and doctors of medicine. 

In the old days the Welsh manner of spelling the name was 
"Rhys," though even then when written in English was often spelled 
"Rice." (Notes on Culpeper of Dr. Slaughter, by Raleigh T. Green.) 

John Rice died in Caswell County, North Carolina, in 1804, 
leaving a will, by which he deeded property to the children of Mary 
Rice, the wife of Moses Oldham, and sister to John Rice.

Article 1 Abner Oldham, a son of Captain John OlcUiani and Aniiis 

Rice his wife, was born in Caswell County, North Carolina, Dec. 
4, 1783, and came with his parents to Madison Connty, Ky., 
in 1795, he then being a lad twelve years of age, his father 
rode over a large section of Kentucky and settled on the Ken- 
tucky River in what was in 1808, embraced in the organization 
of Estill County. 

Abner went to school to the Welsh school teacher, Mr. Hutch- 
inson and was learned in the English branches, as well as a good 
latin scholar. In December 1809, he married Miss Hannah White 
of Madison County, and acquired in time considerable real estate 
on the Kentucky river, and the waters of Otter Creek, in the latter 
County, and made his first home on the waters of Muddy Creek and 
moved from there to a farm on the Kentucky river about one mile 
above the present town of Ford, and four miles above Boonsborough, 
where he lived and died. He made many trips to New Orleans in 
flat boats, with tobacco and other productions, and walked back from 
there on seventeen different occasions. 

He and his brother Kie, went with their father and assisted in 
carrying the first drove of one thousand hogs from Kentucky 
through the woods and over the mountains to the Southern market. 
Abner on his own account often bought up large droves of hogs, 
and carried them to the Carolina markets. He dealt extensively 
in all sorts of live stock and produce, and drove many horses to 
the Eastern country. New York, Pennsylvania and other states, and 
was a very active business man. 

He represented Madison County in the Kentucky Legislature 
in 18 43, and died June 15, 1852, and his mortal remains were in- 
terred in the Richmond Cemetery, the following inscription appears 
on the tomb stone to his grave: 

"Abner Oldham, born in Caswell County, North Carolina, 
Dec. 2, 1783, removed with his father to Madison County, Ky., 
in 1795, where he resided until his death June 15, 1852." 
On another side of the stone are these words: 
"In his character, frank and decided, he discharged with 
marked fidelity, his duty to his family, his friends and his 
country, indulging a fondness for reading, he became one of 
the most intelligent farmers in the county, which he represented 
creditably and faithfully in the Legislature." 



His varied interests, and work and callings in the day in which 
Tie lived required for success, nerve, endurance, jjerspverance and 
grit. All of these qualities he possessed in a remarkable degree. 

On one occasion he shipped and went himself to New Orleans 
with a large quantity of bacon and tobacco, and finding no market 
In New Orleans for his bacon, he reshipped it to Cuba, where he 
went, and stayed in Cuba some time, two or three months, and there 
sold his bacon and made good money on it. On this trip he was 
gone from home some four months or more. Children were born i 
to him and his wife in the following order: 

Section 1. Ulysses Oldham; died at twelve years of age. 

Section 2. David D. Oldham, was born on Muddy Creek, in i

the church of his choice, but with all who know him. He is not 
very tall, but of very heavy and stout build. He emigrated to 
Missouri, and now lives in Xortonville, Kansas. He attended the 
Kentucky and Madison County Home Coming in 1906, where he

1. Hon. William Chenault, an eminent and learned lawyer of 
the Richmond Bar, was born in Madison Countj', Ky. He married

ers of the Filson Club, and died June 2, 1901, at Colorado 
Springs in the state of Colorada, wliere he liad gone seeking a 
health resort. No more fitting tribute can be paid to his memory 
than to insert here the remarks of Hon. Reuben T. Durrett, 
President of the Filson Club, at a memorial meeting of the club 
held in Louisville, Ky., Oct. 7, 1901. Mr. Durrett said: 

"It was a beautiful custom of the ancient Athenians to collect 
the remains of those who lost their lives in battle, and to inter 
them at the public expense in a suburban cemetery of Athens, 
with a funeral oration setting forth their virtues. In a similar 
manner, the Filson Club, honors her dead members by memorial 
iiHctings in their behalf, with obituary notices of them to be 
preserved among her archives. 



olG History and Genealogies 

'In the list of names of deceased members for commemoration 
at this memorial meeting, is that of William Chenault of Rich- 
mond, Ky. He was one of the founders of this club, and it seems 
fitting that I, as its President, should speak of him on this occa- 
sion. In this room on the 15th day of May, 18 84, Mr. Chenault 
and myself, with eight others met and organized the Filson Club. 
The names of these ten founders were Richard H. Collins, John 
Mason Brown, George M. Davie, William Chenault, Bazil W. 
Duke, James S. Pirtle, Thomas W. Bullett, Alexander P. Humph- 
rey, Thomas Speed and Reuben T. Durrett. Of these, the first 
named four, Richard H. Collins, John Mason Brown, George M. 
Davie and William Chenault, have died and the remaining six 
are all of the Founders of the Club left among the living. They 
have been spared to see the original ten members swell to four 
hundred, and to see sixteen quarto volumes of valuable historic 
matter published by the club, while a seventeenth volume is in 
course of publication. It was the custom during the first years 
of the club, to assign to members subjects on which to prepare 
papers to be read to the club. At the second meeting in 1884, 
Mr. Chenault was appointed to prepare a paper on Isaac Shelby, 
and his two administrations as Governor of Kentucky. This he 
did. and a noble paper it was. He went over the first adminis- 
tration from 1792 to 1796, and the second from 1812 to 1816, and 
pointed out the different messages, and the different laws, which 
not only met the exigencies of the time, but helped to shape the 
future policy of the new state. He then took up the military 
career of Governor Shelby and presented him as a young soldier 
in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774, when the first guns of 
the American Revolution were fired at the Indians as the advanced 
guard of the British. Next he presented him in the battle of 
Kings Mountain in 1780. When, with his bold and hardy trans- 
mountaineers the army of Ferguson were destroyed and the droop- 
ing hopes of the patriots raised to the anticipation of their as- 
sured independence. And, lastly, he presented him in the war of 
1812, when almost having reached his three score years and ten, 
he mounted his horse at Frankfort, and rode with his conquering 
Kentuckians to the River Thames in Canada, where the British 
under the infamous Proctor, were routed and the second war of 
the Revolution practically brought to an end. And finally he took 
up the private life of Governor Shelby, and presented him on 
his farm, known as Traveler's Rest, in Lincoln County, Ky., 
raising better corn and wheat and flax and tobacco and finer 
horses and cattle and sheep and hogs, than any body else. He 
evsn went into the working room of Mrs. Shelby and 
displayed the wheels on which the yarn was spun and the 
loom on which it was woven into cloth for the clothing of the 
whole family. At a subsequent meeting he was appointed to 
prepare and read a paper on education in Kentucky. This he 
read at the December meeting in 188 5. It covered the whole 
field of education from the teacher and pupil of the log cabin, 
- praticed by the pickets of the fort, to the present system, in 
which the teacher is employed by the state and the pupil taught 
free. Those early Fort-Schools, in which letters and figures 
marked on boards with charcoal, were used, instead of books, 
were vividlv presented, and the hearer could almost see Mrs. 
Cooms at Harrodsburg and Mr. Doniphan at Boonsborough, using 
such charcoal boards in their classes. This paper on education 
was so thoroughlv and admirably done, that the Hon. Z. F. Smith, 
published it in his History of Kentucky, and thus gave it a per- 
manent place in our literature. 



History and Genealogies 517 

William Cheuault was a native of Madison County, Ky., where 
he was born in 1835. His ancestors were Hiiguenols, who had 
fled from the Province of Languenoc, in Southern France to avoid 
persecution, on the revocation of the Edict of Nautes. They es- 
caped to England and from there came to Virginia about the year 
1700. In 17 8 G, his father Josiah Chenault came to Kentucky 
and settled at no great distance from Boonsborough in Madison 
County. 

(This last statement in regard to Josiah ChenauU is erroneous. 
Josiah Chenault was a son of William Chenault and Susannah 
Phelps, the latter a daughter of Josiah Phelps, the said William 
Chenault, born in 1773, was a son of William Chenault and 
Elizabeth Mullins. Josiah's father and grandfather, both named 
William, came from Albemarle County to Madison County, Ky.. in 
the fall of 1786, before the second William was married and cer- 
tainly Josiah was not at that time born.) 

Here William was born and educated in the schools of the 
Countv until he was old enough, and advanced enough for college. 
He was then sent to Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire, 
where he was graduated in 1856. He then studied law in Rich- 
mond, Ky., and so rapidly learned the law, that at a time when 
most students are only prepared for cases before magistrates, he 
had mastered the science and was offered the chair of professor 
in the law department of the university of Louisville. This 
position he accepted and taught law classes with marked ability 
for some eight years or more. At length his health began to 
fail, and he longed for the fresh air and green fields of his native 
place. He resigned his chair in the law school and returned to 
Richmond, where he formed a law partnership with the Hon. John 
Bennett, which existed at the time of his death. 

Mr. Chenault was not only a profound lawyer, but had made 
fame in other branches of learning. He had read many books 
in various departments of knowledge, and was a man of broad 
culture. Outside of his profession, however, he was probably 
best equipped in history. Born as he was and reared as he was, 
near the old historic Boonsborough, it is possible that, that gave 
somethins,- of an antiquarian tinge to his historic taste. Although 
Boonsborough had vanished before his day, he knew where every 
cabin and picket stood, and could point out the locality of every 
tree behind which an Indian had hid while firing at the fort. He 
knew the names of the men, women and children who had inhab- 
ited the fort, and could relate the details of every conflict they 
had had with the Indians. His knowledge of Boonsborough, how- 
ever, did not bound his historic learning. He knew everything 
and everv bodv in Madison County, and had mastered every history 
of Kentvickv, "from Filson in 1784, to Smith of the present day. 
He was, also, familiar with the best histories of the United States 
and of other countries. 

William Chenault was a modest, unpretending gentleman, of 
the good old school of Virginia and Kentucky. Though studious 
and retiring in his nature, he was fond of his friends and of 
their companv, He always had time, and was never too weary 
to help the voung members of the bar, and was equally generous 
and kind in imparting literary and historic knowledge to those 
in search of them. He was an exemplary christian, and there 
was no blemish on the bright escutcheon of his moral character. 
He had a strong and brilliant mind, which enabled him to take 
hold of the philosophy of the law, and he depended more upon 
the broad principles of legal science than he did upon in- 



518 ^ History and Genealogies 

dividual cases. He was a public spirited citizen and did telling 
work, in securing a branch of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- 
road for Madison County, and in locating Central University at 
Richmond. 

During the last few years he suffered from a paralytic affliction, 
which left him with such trembling hands, that he could illy 
use his pen. In the hope of a restoration to health, he went 
to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, but found there no relief. He 
then went to Colorado Springs in the distant state of Colorado, 
where his sufferings were ended in death on the 2nd of .June 1901. 

"In the death of William Chenault, the Filson Club, has sus- 
tained a great loss, and so has the County of Madison, and the 
state of Kentucky." 

Mr. Chenault was somewhat deficient in his chirography and 
on occasions when the subject matter had for the time slipped 
his memory, it required his deepest thoughts for him to read what 
he had penned, which was sometimes a source of amusement to 
the Court and Bar. When some brother lawyer would ask the 
Court for a rule against Mr. Chenault to put his pleadings in 
writing that can be read. 

It is well remembered that on one occasion when the writer 
was in the clerk's office early one morning, Mr. Chenault came In 
and threw down on the table the petition in an old case, which 
was in his own hand-writing, and said: "M — -, I wish you would 
make me a copy of this petition," and he immediately stepped 
out, and as soon, the writer went to work to copy it, which called 
for a close scrutiny and much study, finishing the work as 
best he could the copyist certified. "The foregoing is as trup a 
copy as I can make from the original." In the evening Mr. Che- 
nault came back and said "M" dirt you copy that little petition 
for me?" When the copy as made was handed him, which he 
opened and looked at, and then remarked: "That is all right, 
I had no idea you could copy it, the reason I wanted you to copy 
it, I could not read it myself," and then he shouted, jumped and 
laughed in a manner that could have been heard a considerable 
distance, and his actions peculiar only to himself, were very amus- 
ing, and that copy no doubt is among the papers of that old case 
today. (Walton v Jones.) Mr. Chenault would sometimes tell 
this. He was a fine man. He and his wife had one child: 

1. Isabella Chenault; married William Argo. (See Part VII, 
Chapter 5, Section 2.) 

2. Ulysses O. Chenault: died unmarried, he was the first born,

HEZEKIAH OLDHAM. 

(Named in Chapter 13, Section 3.) 

Article 1. — Hezekiah Oldham, a son of Captain John Oldham and 
A.nnis Rice his wife, was born in Caswell County, North Carolina 
April 10, 1787. 

He came to Kentucky with his parents in 1795, and on the 7th 
day of Oct. 1813, he married Mary Kavanaugh of Madison County, 





HEZEKIAH OLDHAM. 



MARY KAVANAUGH. 
Wife of Hezekiah Oldham. 



who was born April 2 9, 1798, she being in the sixteenth year of her 
age. Mary Kananaugh was a daughter of William Kavanaugh and 
Hannah Woods his wife. (See Part VH, Chap. 8, Sec. 3.) Heze- 
kiah Oldham died July 13, 1868, and his wife died Sept. 10, 1882. 

At the February Term 1810, of the Estill County Court, he was 
appointed third inspertor of hemp, flour and tobacco at Water's 
inspection. His education consisted in only knowing how to read, 
write and cypher. He went to school to Hutchison. Hezekiah 
Oldham was a farmer on a large scale, being the owner of 2 500 
acres of land and a dealer in all kinds of live stock, and farm prod- 
ucts, tobacro. etc., raised on his own farm tobacco in large quantities 
in his earlier life, and would buy up all the hogs for sale in the 
country around for the southern market, which would be driven 
through. to the South. And ship tobacco in flat boats from his land- 
ing on the Kentucky River to New Orleans market, to which me- 
tropolis he made several trips, and would dispose of all, and return 
home through the country, getting rides when he could, much of the 
way back made on foot, for want of other modes nf travel. 

The story goes that one year, he raised a large crop of tobacco, 
and bought up all the tobacco in the country, and made ready for 
its sihipment to New Orleans, and the low stage of the water pre- 
vented the shipment and he held the tobacco till the next year and 
added to it his new crop and other purchases, and went and carried 



Tlisfi)!!/ and (loicaioqics 



523 



his cargo of flat boats to New Orleans and there disposed of it all, 
and strapped $12,000 in belts around his person and started on foot 
home, catt'hiiiK rides on the way as he could, and arrived safely 
at home with the money, the proceeds of his stock. 

Besides the farm, field and stock dealing, he was the i)roi)rielor 
of and conducted the business of running trains of wagons, o^ten 
from eight to sixteen horses attached to one wagon, and at places 
requiring it the teams would be doubled, as was often necessary 
which business he i)ersonally superintended and managed, being 
out in the night and exposed to all sorts of inclement weather, 
hauling pig iron from the Kentucky Mountain furnaces and iron 
works, salt from Goose Creek salt works, and goods from Cincinnati 
and Louisville to Richmond and various other interior towns, these 
were the activities of a past age, but necessary in that day. He was 
well known and trusted over a large portion of Kentucky and in 
the South. Nearly every one knew of Kie Oldham and his personal 
acquaintances were legion. Although having been dead for nearly 
forty years still the memory of this noted man and his character 
exists in the minds of the people and there can scarcely be found a 
person twenty years of age who cannot relate something of his life. 
His career extended from a period reaching back near to the close 
of the Revolution to some years after the close of the civil war, 
within which space transpired many important and noted events, 
such as the war of lf^l2. the Mexican and the Civil War, Indian wars, 
in different parts, the Louisiana and Spanish purchases and other 
grants to the nation, and wonderful improvements in farming im- 
plements, machinery of all kinds and modes of transportation, etc., 
which he witnessed from a primitive to a most improved state. 
Through him was handed down to his children and from his children 
to their children the account of his grand-father William Oldham and 
the traditions related in Chapter 2, and the losing sight of Edward, 
and of his uncles and aunts, (brothers and sisters to his father. 
Captain John Oldham) whom he knew the story of whom has 
been given from parent to child to the present generation, and 
is believed by the descendants. When a boy Mr. Oldham, the 
subject, accompanied his father with the first drove of hogs from 
Kentucky to the South Carolina market. (See Chap. 1, Item

influential and popular, having been elected several times to the 
Arkansas Legislature from Lonoke County, and speaker of the House 
of Representatives. Was twice elected Governor of the State, 
administering the affairs of state with signal ability, and statesman- 
ship, creditably to himself and to the people. When elected Gover- 
nor, he and his wife left their country home in Richwoods and moved

commodious and handsome mansion, richly furnished with every- 
thing needful for their comfort and pleasure, including an excellent 
library of rare books. They had no children. They travelled a great 
deal. All their earthy wants were bountifully supplied.

and costly monument erected in the cemetery at Little Rock to 
hin^.self and wife while he lived. 

On the day of 190 4, he passed i)eacefully away, at 

hi'- Little Rock home. After a great funeral concourse his remains 
were buried by the side of his wife's in the Little Rock Cemetery. 
He was a hard student and obtained the nia.ior portion of his edu- 
cation after arriving at manhood. He served through the Civil 
Wa • of 1S62. in the army of the confederate states, enlisting as 
private promoted to the rank of Colonel. He gave much to churches 
and charities, the latter days of his life especially being consecrated 
to the cause of his redeemer. The press published much con- 
cerning the works and lives of this couple.

Article 1. — Katherine Oklham, a daufshter of AVilliam Kavanaush 
Oldliani, and Jacinth Katherine Bro«ai his wife, was born in 
Madison Connty, Ky., Dec. 5, 1856, and at Iier fatlier's lionie 
near Richmond, Ky., on the 27th day of Feb. 1884, she was 
married to William Harris Miller. (See Part I, Cliap. 13, Sec. 8.) 

She was educated for the most part at home under private tutors, 
but was graduated from the Richmond Female Seminary of Ken- 
tucky. She has given several years of her life to teaching select 
schools. While she does not claim to be an author, she has from 
time to time published short articles in periodicals that have always 
elicited favorable comment. She has been for many years a member 
of the Regular Baptist Church. Quoted from Ex-Governor James P. 
Eagle's Memoir of his wife: 

"From Mrs. Kate Miller of Richmond, Ky., came the following 
lines as a tribute to her departed sister: 

The frost of death is on her brow, 
The waxen hands lie still and cold; 

And over eyes of softest blue 
The eye-lids' jetty fringes fold. 

Sweet thoughts seem poised upon the lips. 

Half smiling so like life they are, 
But light and thought have closed their doors — • 

In brighter lands they wander far. 
(34) )

The chiseled image, fair and white, 

Holds not the spirit fairer still, 
But all within is night and death, 

And waits death's mission to fulfill. 

'Tis but the alabaster vase. 

Which holds our cherished rose in bloom; 
The fragrance still we have, but she 

Now spreads her leaves in larger room. 

What though the tears from grieving hearts. 

Well up and flood our heavy eyes, 
Our sorrow still is full of hope, 

We know she lives in paradise. 

What though the curtain darkly falls 
And hides our friend from living view; 

Whate'er the clime where she abides, 
We know her loving, leal and true. 

That which we had we still will claim, 
Xor will we count our treasure lost; 

Sweet commune still with her we'll hold. 
Nor count the tears our parting cost. 

Nor hours, nor days, nor weary years, 

Can from our lives her life efface; 
And somewhere in the halls of time. 

We'll meet and greet her face to face. 

For all events are garnered grain, 

If we God's laws but understood, 
And days of care, and nights of pain, 

And death and sorrow work for good. 

Nothing is lost in wisdom's plan. 

Through toil and tears we reach the goal; 

Toward that divine event we move. 
Which solves the mystery of the soul." 

No children were born to William H. Miller and Katherlne 
Oldham his wife.

CHAPTEE 23. 

WILLIAM KAVANAUGH OLDHAM, Jr. 

(Named in Chapter 19, Section 7.) 

Article 1. — William Kavanaugh Oldham, Jr., a son of William Kava- 
nauaih and Jacintha Catherine Brown his wife, was born in Mad- 
ison County, K}., 3Iay 29, 1865. 

He obtained most of his education at the common schools of 

Madison County and Central University 
at Richmond. At about the age of seven- 
teen he and his younger brother Kie left 
Richmond on horse back, and rode 
through the country to Lonoke, Arknasas, 
where he has since made his home, and 
there became superintendent and mana- 
ger of the cotton plantation of his 
brother-in-law Ex-Governor James P. 
Eagle, which position he held as long as 
Governor Eagle lived, and managed the 
affairs to the entire satisfaction of Mr. 
Eagle. He now owns a good landed 
estate in Lonoke County. He married 
Lillian Munroe, a daughter of Welling- 
ton Munroe, of the town of Lonoke, on 

the — day 

Mr. Oldham recently received at the 

hands of the Democratic party of his 

Countv of Lonoke, the nomination as a 

candidate for a seat in the Lower House 

,, ^v,^. L^ r^. r^uAM I of the General Assembly of the State of 

Hon. WM. K. OLDHAM. Jr. j,^^.^^^^^^ and was elected. 

After the adjournment of the thirty 
sixth session of the Arkansas Legislature of 19 07, the Daily Arkansas 




532 History and Genealogies 

Democrat published with other tilings in its editorial eolums, the 
following: 

"Hamiter and Oldham brothers leaders in past Legislature. 
"Senator John H. Hamiter, Senator Kie Oldham, Pulaski, and 
Speaker Allien Hamiter, of Lafayette, and Representative Oldham of 
Lonoke, made their influence felt upon Legislature in the State 
General Assemgly. Each one extremely popular in his sphere. 

So far as the records show there has never been a session of the 
Arkansas Legislature in which there has been two sets of brothers, 
one each in the senate and the house, until that which recently ad- 
journed. In the thirty sixth there was senator John H. Hamiter 
in the South wing, and Speaker, Allen H. Hamiter, in the House, 
and Senator Kie Oldham in the South and Hon. W. K. Oldham in 
the house. This condition is said to have never existed before. The 
two senators represent the same County, Pulaski. The tenth sen- 
atorial district composed of Pulaski, and Perry Counties is represent- 
ed by two Little Rock attorneys, Hon. John H. Hamiter and Kie 
Oldham. But in the House the other brothers represent widely 
divergent counties. Mr. Oldham represented Lonoke County, lying 
to the east of Pulaski, while Speaker Hamiter was elected from 
Lafayette County, but represented the state at large in his position 
as presiding officer of the House. 

"Hon. W. K. Oldham in the House was rarely on the floor, but 
the opponents of bills he favored never for once forgot he was there. 
Representative Oldham is one of the most unique characters of the 
past General Assembly. Such intense love for a brother is rarely 
seen as that of Will Oldham for Senator Oldham. Always mindful 
of the physical necessities and comforts of his distinguif.hed brother 
Mr. Oldham was noted by all with whom he came in contact. And 
on Legislative matters he was a power to be considered at all times. 
Never pushing himself into the fight, but standing at all times ready 
to defend his position, or yet to make the attack if necessary. Mr. 
Oldham won for himself a position high in the regard of his fellows. 

As chairman of the Insurance Committee, Mr. Oldham occupied 
a most important and interesting position. When the various in- 
surance measures came up for discussion, he was always ready to 
give data regarding any feature of the questions, all were guaranteed 
of a fair and impartial hearing. While Mr. Oldham favored the 
passage of a bill which would relieve the situation so far as insurance 
was concerned, the opponents of this were always allowed to be 
heard and the arguments were listened to with deep attention. 

The repeal of the feature of the Anti-Trust law which affects 
insurance companies, was the biggest matter coming before the In- 
surance Committee. Some time was spent in discussing the bill. 
United States Senator Jeff Davis appeared before the committee and 
fought the bill. But the committee recommended that the bill 
pass, and it passed. This is one of the few committees whose reco- 
mendations was not reversed by the House, nor the senate. 

Hon. William K. Oldham came to Arkansas in 188 5, from Mad- 
ison County, Ky. His whole life has been spent on a farm, and he 
is one of the most sucessful planters in Lonoke County. He was 
educated at Central University inRichmond, Ky. He and Senator 
Kie Oldham of Pulaski are brothers and have been associated in bus- 
iness since they came to Arkansas. It has been noticed that they 
have been constantly together when the general assembly was not 
in session. Mr. Oldham was in the race for Representative only 
nine days. This is his first political venture, but his services in the 
House have demonstrated that he was one of the strongest men on 



Ulstonj and Genealogies 



533 



the floor. Ilis power was felt by the opposition during the pendency 
of the Argenta bill, the Lee-Browning bill, and ui)on the occasion 
Oi his bout with his colleague. Hon. Joseph B. Reed, over the repeal 
of the four-wire fence law which applies to their County.." (See 
Chapter 24 following.) The fruits of this marriage are the children 
named in the coming sections:

County, Arkansas. 

Section 2. Lillian .Munroe Oldham, born in Lonoke Coutny

CHArTEE 24. 



KIE OLDHAM. 



(Named in Chapter 19, Section 8,) 

Article 1. — Kie Oldham, (called Kie) a sou of William Kavanaugh 
Oldham and Jacintha Catherine Bro«ii his wife, was boi-n in 
Madison County, Ky., Jan. 17, 1869, when a youth went with 
his elder brother William, each on horse back, from Richmond 
to Lonoke, Arkansas, in which state he has since made his home, 
and where he c(tmi>leted his education, at a Baptist College at 
Texarkana, and aftenvards graduated in a school of law. 



His profession being 



tliat of a lawyer. Was private secretary 
to Governor Eagle, whilst Governor of 
that State. Was attorney for various 
tribes of Ute Indians representing them 
in causes pending in the United States 
Court of Claims, for damages for Indian 
depredations, and depredations of others 
against the Utes, and lie went over the 
western states and territories taking dep- 
.ositions in the cases, and in which cases 
he was very successful. He was also, 
attorney for Cuban American Claimants 
in causes pending in the United States 
Tribunals for damages caused by the 
Spanish-American war, which the United 
States in their treaty with Spain in some 
manner assumed the liability, and spent 
from the fall of 19 03, till the summer or 
fall of 1904, on the island of Cuba, taking 

■ ,^K, .^.r- ^.FN, ,.., depositions in the cases, which are as 

HON. klE OLDHAM. ^.^^ undetermined. 

He married Caroline Weeden, a daughter of Captain William 
Weeden of Waubaseeka, Arkansas, and he owns a home in Little 
Rock, the Capital of the State of Arkansas, where they live. No 
children have been born to them. :\rr. Oldham recentlv received from 




'534 History and Genealogies 

the Democrats of the senatorial District in which the City of Little 
Rock is, the nomination as a candidate for State Senator, and was 
elected. (See Part 6, Chap. 23.) 

The Arkansas Daily Democrat, further said: 

"Kie Oldham was born in Madison County, Ky., in 1869. He is a 
son of Wiliam Kavanaugh Oldham and Jacintha Kate Brown, the 
former a native of Kentucky, and the latter of Virginia. He is a 
brother of Mrs. James P. Eagle, and of the Hon. W. K. Oldham, 
Representative from Lonoke County. He came to Arkansas in 1SS4. 
He graduated from Ouachita College in 1889, and in 189 3 entered 
the University of Virginia, completing his law studies in June, 189 4. 
He was admitted to the bar Oct. 3, 1894, since which time his home 
and law offlce have been in Little Rock. His most conspicuous 
service in the Senate was rendered in the passage of the bill pro- 
viding for the re-annexation of Argenta to Little Rock, in the pas- 
sage of the Fellow Servant Bill, which bears his name, and as chair- 
man of the joint committee on the State Capital. 

Senator Oldham has been considered to be one of the leading 
members of the upper house. His hundreds of friends regret red ex- 
ceedingly his determination to not stand for the Lieutenant Governor- 
ship. As chairman of the State Capital Committe, Senator Oldham 
came into close contact with the greatest proposition brought to the 
attention "of the General Assembly. In that position as presiding 
officer of this committee, he displayed the best in the man. Careful, 
conservative, yet energetic, and possessed of a determination to 
get at the heart of every point presented, he was of invaluable aid 
to the committee, and incidentally to the state of Arkansas. Senator 
Oldham is one of the most beloved members of the senate. While 
he fought strenuously many measures which came before the u])per 
body, he never for once lost the high esteem of every member. 

In the Argenta re-annexation fight, he was a moving spirit. And 
at the same time he desired the right to be done, and to give every 
interest and person a fair hearing. When the Lee-Browning bill 
came up for discussion, Senator Oldham was found battling for the 
business interests of the state and each have but further endeared 
him to the people.

1. The verv pleasant and instructive correspondence with Samuel 
Oldham Esquire of Zanesville, Ohio, has brought forth many interest- 
ing letters from him, enclosing notes, and much information con- 
cerning the earlv Oldhams of A'assachut-etts, Pennsvlvania and 
elsewhere. The lack of space forbids the presentation herein of all 
his letters in full, and summaries only of the notes are presented. 

Omitting i)ersonal matter, some of his letters and extracts from 
some, with summaries follow: 

Zanesville, O., Nov. — 19 0o. 

Mr. W. H. Miller, Richmond, Ky. My dear Sir: Your favor of 
the 16th inst at hand and carefully noted. At the outset, let me 
sav, that Captain John Oldham and Lieutenant Colonel, William 



'T-tO Historji (iitil (Trni'dlogies 

Oldham, killed at. St. Clair's defeat, Nov. 4, 1791, were full brothers, 
and Sarah Oldham, who married William Merriweather, was the full 
sister of both, and they were the children of Isaac Oldham by his 
first marriage. By Isaac Oldham's second marriage, there were 
eleven children five sons and six daughters, fourteen in all, who 
grew to be men and women. The children of the first marriage, 
to-wit: William, John and Sarah Oldham settled in Louisville and 
Lexington, Ky. The children of the second marriage: James, 
Thomas, Isaac, Alline, Mary, Elizabeth, Catherine Esther and Robert, 
settled in Ohio, Hannah in Missouri. Samuel tbe youngest, born in 
1792, remained on the home place in Virginia until his death, March 
1S76. 

Isaac Oldham, the father, was past fifty years of age when the 
Revolution begun; he was born in 172 6, and died on what he calls 
his plantation in Ohio County, Va., in 1821. I will quote you a para- 
graph from his last will and testament, which was proven in Court, 
Ohio County, Va., at the September term A D 1821. "I give and 
bequeath to my son William Oldham, the sum of one dollar; my 
daughter Sarah, one dollar; my son John, one dollar, also, to my 
son, James the sum of one dollar, in addition to what they have pre- 
viously received. I am not able to say what had been previously 
given to the children William, John and Sarah, but James, who was 
the eldest child by the second marriage received in 17 99, a deed 
for one hundred acres of land Middle Wheeling Creek, Ohio County, 
Va. That there had been some settlement of the interests of the 
children named before their going to the south is doubtless true, 
as shown by the will. I can't say, who was the mother of William, 
John and Sarah, nor can I tell you where the birth place of Isaac 
was. 

Samuel Oldham, who died in Louisville, in 1823, was the brother 
of Isaac Oldham, and not the brother of Colonel William Oldham, 
as stated in some genealogies that have been complied. 

Note: Mr. Thurston's Tree, sets forth Lieutenant Colonel William 
Oldham, killed at St. Clair's defeat, Samuel Oldham, who died in 
Louisville in 182:3, and Winifred Oldham, who married Colonel 
John Neville, as brothers and sister, and children of John Oldham 
and Ann Conway. (Writer.) 

He was a resident of Frederick or Jefferson County prior to the 
formation of Berkely County in 1770, but was included in Berkely 
when that County was formed. Adam Stephens was the first sheriff 
of that County, (Berkely) and Samuel Oldham was one of the sure- 
ties on the bond, wliich was in the sum of one thousand pounds 
current money, and the default to our Sovereign Lord, King George, 
the third. Daniel Morgan was another surety on the bond. John 
Neville was one of the Justices approving the bond. John Neville, 
was the second sheriff of Berkely County. He married Winifred 
Oldham. He was a Colonel in the Revolution in the Virginia line. 
At the end of that struggle, he removed to Pittsburg, Pa. Was 
United States Marshall, during the whiskey insurrection in the five 
Western Counties of Pennsylvania, and had his dwelling burned by 
the rioters. Both himself and wife died and were buried at Pitts- 
burg, Pa. The wife of General Neville was as I have stated Winifred 
Oldham, the sister of Samuel Oldham, of Berkely County, Va., the 
same who died at Louisville, Ky., in 182:3, and the sister of Isaac 
Oldham. "Allspaugh in his Annals of the West, states that General 
Daniel Morgan, and Lieutenant Neville were brothers-in-law. If that 
statement is true then General Morgan, married an Oldham. Samuel 
Oldham was one of the sureties on General Neville's bond as sheriff

oi Borkeley County, and between the years 1772 and 1782, the linio 
he removed to Loiiisvill(\ Ky., his name is on some nine lesjjal 
instruments on record in Berlveley County, Virginia. 

Isaac Oldham's military record in the Revolution from 1778, 
to 178:^, was in Cai)tain John Van Meter's conii)any of Pennsylvania 
Rangers. (See Pennsylvania Archives :5rd series, Vol. XXIII, i). 228- 
319.) This company was raised in Westmoreland County, Pa. Will- 
iam pr>H John served in Cantain Xelson's comnanv of Tndei)end- 
enl Riflemen, which was raised in Westmoreland County, Pa. This 
company was raised for service in Canada, but when at Ticondaroga 
to join Montgomery, by a resolution of the Continental Congress, 
attached to the third Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel Wayne com- 
manding, and afterwards to the fifth Pennsylvania, Colonel Johnson, 
commanding. After Nelson had been retired from the service John 
Oldham became the Captain of the company and William who had 
been Ensign, was promoted to a Lieutenant. William Was never 
Captain of this company, unless it was by brevet. John continued 
Captain until his resignation. 

John Oldham — Captain Oldham's company, formerly Nelson's 
company, was an independent one, and was by resolution of Conti- 
nental Congress, March 24, 1777, attached to the fifth Pennsylvania, 
Colonel Francis Johnson commanding. He was commissioned the 
2 7th of Sept. 1776, and retired from the service Jan. 1, 1781. Will- 
iam Oldham was first Lieutenant. (See Penn. Archives second series 
Vol. X.) William Oldham of Pennsylvania was first Lieutenant of 
Nelson's company, Independent Rifles of AVestmoreland County Pa., 
from Jan. 30, 1776, to Jan. 1777. AVas Lieutenant Colonel command- 
ing the militia force under Governor St. Clair and was killed at St. 
Clair's defeat, near Fort Recovery Ohio, Nov. 4, 1791. — Pennsyl- 
vania Archives second series, Vo. X, p. 62 — . 

Isaac Oldham, made many trips by flat boats or Kentucky "Broad- 
horns," between 1783, and 1800. On one of these trips the convoy 
of boats was attacked by the savages, when some forty miles above 
Louisville. The first fire of the Indians on the arched roof of the 
boats resembled a hail storm from the glancing balls. All the 
boats escaped, except Greathouse, which was captured, landed and 
destroyed, those on board taken captives from whom nothing was 
ever head (of them.) On the arrival of the other boats at Louis- 
ville, a detachment of cavalry was sent in pursuit of the Indians, 
but without avail. :\Iany incidents of the early settlements and of 
kindred I have heard from my father, but as I was only a boy of 
less than sixteen at the time of his death they made but little im- 
pression upon me. As the matter now stands I am one of the three 
or four of the second generation whom can say Isaac Oldham was 
their Grand-Father. ** Respectfully. 

SAMUEL OLDHAM. 

Extract from Samuel Oldham's letter of Dec. 16, 19 05: 

"Samuel, who was the uncle of William, John and Sarah, settled 
at Louisville, where he resided until his death in 1823. Did Sarah 
go to Louisville with Samuel? I think she did, for neither William 
or Captain John were married until after they settled in Kentucky. 
William according to all authorities married Penelope Pope. ** The 
date of Sarah's marriage to William Meriweathet- is inaccurately 
stated. The Virginia Historical Magazine Vol. VII, p. 103, does not 
give the date of the marriage. The Tree of William Oldham's des- 
cendant, fixes the date as 1788. Did the Oldham's I have named, or 
any of them engage in business, Merchantile or Manufactory, at the 



'^-^>'- Historti inid Genealogies 

fall of the Ohio? (Note: One William Oldham owned a cotton 
factory in Lexington, Ky., as late as 1825, writer.) If they did the 
County records would throw some light on the matter. I think they 
did, and my reason for thinking so, is from the fact that grand- 
father, Isaac Oldham, made several trips to Louisville, both before 
and after William's death. These trips were made on Kentucky 
"Arks" or "Broadhorns," as these flat boats were called. ** 

"The settlement with William, John and Sarah, as shown by 
grand-father's will, may have been made after they went to Ken- 
tucky, or it may have been made before,, but that ft was made the 
will itself shows, which is of record in Ohio County, Va. The fact 
that William, .John and Sarah, were the children of Isaac Oldham, is 
known to numbers of Isaac Oldham's great grand-children. Of the 
grand-children, only six remain, Thomas and J. R. Smith of Dallas, 
West Virginia., the former 88, the latter 86, years of age. Mrs. 
Mary Armstrong, aged 7 5 years, the youngest child of Samuel Old- 
ham, the youngest son of Isaac Oldham. He died in 1884. 
Mrs. Armstrong has grand-father's Bible, I think. My brothers, 
my sister and myself, are the only grand-childr-^n of Isaac 
Oldham and the nieces and nephews of William, John and Sarah 
Oldham."

From Samuel Oldham's letter of Feb. 4, 1906: 

"I have a copy of the Tree of William Oldham, and will say to 



054 Histoi-ji and Gi'iica!u(/i/ s 

you as I wrote to Mr. A. V. Oldham of Louisville, that from William 
Oldham down the Tree is highly creditable.** The value of the 
Tree as a record depends upon the intermarriage and offspring of 
Colonel Samuel Oldham and the widow Elizabeth Newton, whose 
maiden name was Elizabeth Stark. There is nothing to show where 
either Samuel Oldham or the widow Elizabeth Newton resided at 
the time of their marriage. That they after marriage settled in 
Westmoreland County, Va., and continued to reside there until 
their death, I have no doubt, but I would like very much to know 
where this marriage of Colonel Samuel Oldham and the widow of 
Captain Thomas Newton took place, and where Colonel Samuel Old- 
ham resided prior to the marriage. 

It is stated in the Tree, that the offs])ring of this marriage was 
John Oldham, born in 1705. "The William and Mary's Quarterly, 
Vol. IX, page 249, says that Elizabeth Oldham, was the daughter 
of Nephemiah Stark. She married, first. Captain Thomas Newton, 
and married, in 1728, Colonel Oldham: she was the step-daughter 
of Major Andrew Gilson, and conveyed her part of the land by patent 
to her mother. In the deed she calls Willougby Newton "my son and 
heir." Geneologists have made searching enquiries about this John 
Oldham, but he has not been found. It would seem that the marriage 
of Colonel Samuel Oldham, and the widow Newton, took place in 
1728; how could John Oldham born in 170.5, be the child of Eliza- 
beth Oldham, and why did she call Willoughby Newton her son and 
heir, if John Oldham, her son and heir, had an existence at all? It 
is said in the Tree, that this John Oldham married Ann Conway. 
Hayden says Ann Conway married Robert Emons in 1729. With 
Colonel Samuel Oldham's marriage with the widow of Captain New- 
ton in 1728 and John Oldham's birth in 1705, and Ann Conway's 
marriage to Robert Emons in 172 9, we may dismiss the subject with- 
out further comment.** "In William Oldham's Tree, no mention 
is made of Samuel Oldham's birth place, or from whence he came 
when he settled in Louisville, he was simply a brother of William. 
Sarah Oldham is made the daughter of Samuel. In the Virginia 
Historical Magazine Vol. VII, page 103, "Sarah Oldham married 
William Merewether, was born in 1757-8, and died in 1814." No 
statement of her parentage is given. 

From letter of Samuel Oldham, of April 6, 1906: 
"Mrs. Armstrong is the only child of uncle Samuel living, and 
as her father died in 1876, and as grand-father called it in his 
will, Mrs. Armstrong probably knows a great deal about the Old- 
hams. In a conversation with her some two years ago, I said to 
her: "The descendants of Captain John and Colonel William do not 
think that Isaac Oldham, was the father of John and William. To 
this she replied "but he was." In this matter of investigating the 
genealogies of the Oldham family I have no purpose or interest lo 
subserve only the truth, that is what I am seeking, and have kept 
steadfastly in view.** I have a note from Mr. John Baxter of 
Oklahoma City, O. T., who is the grand son of Isaac Oldham, and 
his wife, Sarah (Marling) Oldham, in which he says: "Two or three 
brother's came from England, and settled in South Carolina, they 
afterwards removed to Vermont, and then settled in Lancaster 
County, Pa. I remember hearing my grand-father say that he was 
born in Bedford County, Pa., in 1779. That Isaac Oldham bought 
and improved a farm near West Alexander in Virginia. That two 
half brothers left home and went to Kentucky, near Lexington, who 
had no correspondence with the rest of the family, on account of 
differences in ]ioHtics during the Revolution. Two sisters married 
and settled in Baltimore and one sister lived in Pittsburg. If your 
grand-father was not one of the two, or three brothers who came 



Ilisldi'ji /Dili (l<'ii('iil()(/i('fi 555 

from Ensliind, he \v;is born and married in X'ermoni. if ih(. two 
l)ro!liers who went to Kenlucl<\- Ix lon.ucd lo llial tii'nci-al ion, 
their names were John and William. 'Phe sister of Isaac Oldliam at 
Pittshurs-, was donbtless Mrs. Neville, who was the sister of Samuel 
Oldham at Martinsburg." Here is another note, this is from Mr. 
J. T. Oldham, the grand-son of Thomas Oldham, the second son of 
Isaac Oldham and his wife Sarah (Anderson) Oldham, born 1777, 
married iNliss Xancy Davis of Virginia in 1797. Air. Oldham's home 
is in Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio. 

"My great grand-father and his family came from New .Jersey, 
and settled in Western Pennsylvania, and Ohio County, Va. My 
grand-father came to Ohio from Was-hington County, Pa. The mem- 
bers of the family who came to Ohio from Western Pennsylvania 
and Virginia were Isaac, Thomas (the v»-riter's grandfather), .James 
and Robert. Samuel remained in Virginia.** There were two half 
brothers who migrated to Kentucky — Colonel William Oldham, 
killed at St. Clair's defeat, was one of them, he was a half brother 
of my grand-father." A note from Mrs. Florence Jones of Reynolds- 
burg, Ohio, a grand-daughter of Isaac Oldham, and his wife Sarah 
(Marling) Oldham, says: "I can't answer your questions in regard 
to your grand-father, except that he was twice married." I am of 
the opinion that Isaac Oldham's first wife died and was buried in 
Frederick County, Va. The second wife was Miss Sarah Anderson. 
It is insisted that this marriage took place at Bedford County, Pa. 
This wife, my grand-mother, was the sister of Colonel William 
Anderson of the Revolution, she was also, a sister of Mr. C. Anderson 
a Magistrate of Allegheny County, Pa. Colonel William settled in 
Washington County, Pa., where he resided until his death. 

Isaac Oldham the third child of Isaac Oldham, and his wife Sarah 
(Anderson) Oldham, married Miss Sarah Marling of Haper's Ferry, 
Va. Once a year for many years after this settlement in Ohio 1807, 
(the Indians had not gone away yet under the Greenville Treaty) 
she would make a trip to her old home to the Ferry on horse back." 

From Samuel Oldham's letter of May 26, 1906: 

"In the way of Oldham names I will give you those of my 
father's family: Sarah, Isaac, Eliza, John, Rober', Ann, William, 
Robert. Alartha Ann, Samuel. Thomas and Phoeba. You will notice 
that Robert is mentioned twice. The first Robert died in infancy. 
All those I have named have crossed over the river, but Samuel, 
Thomas and Phoeba. The children of my grand-father's family as 
mentioned in his will were: William, John Sarah, James, Elizabeth, 
Thomas, Isaac, Catherine, Hannah. Esther, Alline, Mary Robert and 
Samuel." 

Note — Mr. Samuel Oldham of Zanesville, states that there was 
but one Captain John Oldham in the Continental Army, which is 
error. There was Captain John, of the Pennsylvania Rifles, and 
Captain John, of the North Carolina line, who after the war settled 
in Estill County, Ky., where he died. (Writer.) 

Samuel Oldham's letter of August 2 8, 19 06: 

"I have been in quest of information in regard to Robert Old- 
ham, who is mentioned in Pennsylvania Archives as having pur- 
chased land in Buck's County, Pa., in the year 1707. Mr. Warren 
S. Ely, of Doyleston, the Librarian of Buck's County Historical 
Society, is making the quest for me. In a recent note from him he 
says "The reference of Dr. Hayden, in regard to Robert Oldham, is 
to Pennsylvania Archives, second series page 4 8:^, of Vol. XIX, it 
reads as follows: "10-2-1707. "Sold Robert Oldham 100 acres of 
land joyning on William Hentley for £20, to be paid in 12 months, 
with interest Rent as Hentley." "It a minute of the commissioners 
of property and interest in minute book "G." The sequel to it is 



556 Histari/ (ind_ GciicnhH/irs 

found on page 3 9 6, of the same volume, under date of June SOth, 
1705, which reads as follows: "William Hentley desiring to pur- 
chase 200 acres at the head of Peter Dix's land, bevond Brandvwine, 
joining on Thomas Withers, agrees to pay £4 at a shilling per cent 
rent. Granted, provided Joel Bailey, may also be accommodated 
with the like, if he desires it, on the same terms. He is to pay 
£20 in three months and the rest first month 1705, with fifteen 
months interest, if he can sooner. "The application of Joel Bailey 
for the 200 acres above referred to is found on page 3 4 7, and was 
held in abeyance, because it was ordered, that the land be sold, very 
sparingly for the future in the County of New Castle, or there abouts. 
"Joel Bailey was of Chester County, near Robert Pyles. 

"All these i'tems show that the grant of Robert Oldham was in 
the lower part of Chester County near the line of New Castle, 
Delaware, and was without doubt, the same 70 acres and 40 acres, 
held respectively by Robert Oldham and John Oldham 1 765-1 77S, 
in East Nottingham, township, Chester County, referred to in my 
last letter, and a memorandum you have among Dr. Hayden'n notes. 
"Wh--' Dr. Fayden should have conceived that the land was in Buck's 
County, I cannot understand, it was probably merely a suggestion 
not followed up by research. Anyhow, your quest should be in 
Chester 'County. 

"Your Isaac Oldham, if of this line, was more probably a grand 
son of Robert Oldham of 17 07, than a son. The land api^ears to have 
been partitioned off between a Robert and a John, prior to 1765."

"Edward Oldham, (probably eldest son of Robert Oldham) of 
Nottingham, Chester County, his wife Mary White had a warrant of 
snrvev for 150 acres of land in Lancaster County Feb. 4, 1735-6. 
(See Pennsylvania Archives Volume XXIV, page 495.) This land 
was doubtless in that part of Lancaster which then extended to the 
"Setting Sun," laid off in Cumberland in 1750. Bedford laid off 
out of Cumberland 1771, and Westmoreland out of Bedford 1773. 
This would place Isaac, if son of Edward, and grand son of Robert, 
where you first found him. There is no will of Edward Oldham 
in Lancaster County, but he may have died in Cumberland prior to 
the organization of Bedford 1771.** "I believe Edward was old 
enough to be the father of Isaac born 1726. 

"The Oldhams all left Chester prior to 1800. 

"Find nothing of Robert and Rachael Oldham, after that date. 

"I have assumed that Mary, wife of Robert Oldham senior, was 
Marv White, mentioned in the will of Joseph White in 1732, but 
this is possibly a violent presumption, as the Mary White Oldham 
there mentioned may have been the widow of Thomas Oldham, Jr., 
to whom letters of administration were granted in 1750, though not 
verv probable, possibly as Thomas Oldham, the father mentions only 
one child of his deceased son Thomas in 1756. Mary was probably 
not married to Thomas Jr., as early as 1732." You will notice that 
these notes do not account for a John Oldham who was a land owner 
in Nottingham 1773 to 1789, or some where there. (See my former 
letter.* Dr. Hayden's notes."*) 

"I still hold that if you are a descendant of Robert Oldham, 
Isaac was a grand son. There is hardly room to doubt that Robert's 
sons were old enough to have a child born in 1726. 

"Did you ever hear of the Thomas Oldham, seems contempora- 
neous with Robert, in the same Township?" 

Mr. Miller, I send you these extracts** with the hope that at 
least they may be interesting.** You will see that the location of

the Oldhams mentioned in Mr. Ely's notes was Chester County, Pa., 
New Castle, Delaware, and in Maryland.

Notes included in Samuel Oldham's letter of Jan. 2 8, 19 07: 
"John Oldham, 1600-1636. Born in England A D 1600, emigra- 
ted to Plymouth in 1623. In 162 4, he and an Episcopal minister 
named John Lyford, conspired against the government of Plymouth, 
and dispatched letters containing charges aganist the established 
authorities to England. The plot was detected and Oldham was 
banished from the Colony, although he later became reconciled with 
the inhabitants, and rendered them some service. Settling in Mas- 
sachusetts Bay Colony, he became a man of prominence, and was 
Deputy from Watertov/n to the first General Court of Magistrates 
of Massachusetts. In 163 6, v/hile he was on a trading expedition 
his pinnace was treacherously captured near Block Island. His 
murder was the immediate cause of the famous Pequod War. (Inter- 
national Encyclopedia.) It proved that the murderers were chiefly 
Block Island Indians, with a few of the Narragansetts, who then 
governed that Island. It was supposed, seeing these Indians with 
Mr. Oldham, that they were in the plot, as some of the Narraganset 
Sachems were found to be. Those who escaped crossed the sound to 
the Pequod Indians and were protected by them. The Governor 
and Council of Massachusetts determined to demand satisfaction of 
the Xarragansett and Pequods, for their crimes, and ninety men hav- 
ing volunteered to form an expedition, Captain Endicott was ap- 
pointed to command them, and they first visited the Narragansetts. 
These Indians submitted to the terms, gave up the sons of Mr. Old- 
ham, promised good behavior for the future. The Pequods how- 
ever, would do nothing, and Captain Endicott was ordered to take 
possession of Block Island, kill the men recross the sound, to the 
Pequod Country. (Dwights History of Connecticut.) 

In confidence of their fidelity (Pequods) John Oldham** went 
in a rmall bark to trade with the natives of Block Island, and they 
murdered him, but spared his two boys, and two Narragansett 
Indians who were of his company. The murderers were discovered 
by a crew of small vessel, one Gallup, master from Connecticut which 
happened to come upon them soon after the fact. Gallup had with 
him, only one man and two boys, and no arms except two muskets 
and two pistols. Although the deck was full of Indians who had 
guns, sv/ords, and yet they were not much used to them, they made 
but little resistance and when he boarded the vessel they jumped into 
the sea, and many of them were drowned. He found Oldham's 
body not cold, his brains beat out, and his hands hacked off. (Win- 
throps History of Massachusetts, Volume 1, page 160.) This occur- 
red in the year 163 6. 

John Oldham murdered by the Indians, who came aboard his 
vessel to trade in 1636. This event brought on the Pequod war. 
He came to Plymouth in 1623, associated with Lyford in 162 4, 
and sat up a separate worship on the sabbath (Church of England) 
intending to alter — perhaps assume the Government. He afterwards 
lived at Hull, and Cape Ann, and represented Watertown in 163 4. 
In 1633, with Hall and others he traveled from Dorchester to a 
place on the Connecticut River, now called Windsor. This explor- 
ation led to its settlement. (Drakes History of American Biography, 
page 160.) In 1624, John Oldham and Lyford, the minister of New 
Plymouth stirred up a faction there and were banished from that 
Colony. They began a settlement at Nantasket. The same year 
some belonging to Dorchester in England sent over fishermen and 



//is/ 1)1-1/ a ml (li'iini/oiiirs aoD 

iiuido necessary provision for a fishery at Cape Ann, and Rogers 
('(.•nam, who with the rest (SO in all) to XautaskeL, was appointed 
iluir overseer. A grant was made by one of the Georges, it is not 
said wiiich, to Oldham and others of part of Massachusetts Bay, 
(five miles square) which occasioned some dispute with them and 
the Massachusetts grantees. (History of Massachusetts by Thomas 
llutcher.son Vol. 1, page 15.) Rogers Conant: while contemplating 
a voyage to the New World, the company wlio promoted the plant- 
ing of New P'lymouth were seriously divided. Such lack of harmony 
had existed two years, and appears to have had its rise from a diff- 
erence of opinion as to ministration of Civil and Ecclesiastical affairs 
in the Colony, They all knew that the disciples of John Robinson 
who had come hither, brought with them the platform of Congre- 
gationalism, animated by the inherent principles of liberty. This 
so far prejudiced their minds that they thwarted the favorite purpose 
of himself and people in London to unite with their friends at Ply- 
mouth in the great mission of religion and philanthropy. In the 
mean while, not ashamed to incur the odium of not being careful 
of the spiritual wards of the Colonists they obtained another in his 
stead. The person chosen was John Lyford, who had been a minis- 
ter in Ireland. He came on a ship which arrived in March 1624. 
At first he rendered himself agreeable to the emigrans and provided 
for them. It was soon discovered that he and John Oldham were 
carrying out the design of the dissatisfied members of the company 
in England by plotting as Bradford states both against our church 
and government, and endeavored to overthrow them. 

The Governor made himself acquainted with the policy, but kept 
it secret. When, to use his own language, Lyford and his few accom- 
plices with factions part of the adventurers sent, adjudging their 
party strong enough to rise up, oppose the government and church, 
draw a company apart set up for themselves, and he could administer 
the sacraments to them by his Episcopal calling. In reference to 
this subject Hubbard remarks that individuals who came over with 
Lyford affirmed that a principal why he and his supporters were 
treated as enemies by Governor Bradford and his council was their 
antipathy against the way of separation, wherein those at Plymouth 
had been trained up under Mr. Robinson. The same author further 
observes that some of them sorrowing do affirm upon their own 
Iniov.iedge that the first occasion of the quarrel with them was the 
bai)tizing of Mr. Helton's child, who was not joined to the church 
at Plymouth. 

Tlais attepmt at Revolution was so much in accordance with the 
design of the council for New England to crush out congregational- 
ism in the ])lantation of Plymouth, and in every ether which might 
be settled within their jurisdiction, the conviction forces itself on 
our minds that the advocates in London co-operated with that res- 
pectable body. The effort made by this clergyman and his followers, 
was their exclusion from the Colony. Among those so rejected was 
Roger Conant, who it appears came over in the same vessel with 
Lvford. (N. E. H and G R. Volume 2.) 

Conant took up his abode at Nantasket, at which he resided for 
more than a year, unmolested, in the fine exercise of his religious 
persuasion. The Dorchester Company in the spring of 1624 receiv- 
ed leave from the Plymouth Colony proprietor, a i)atentee of Cape 
Ann, to settle emigrants on the latter station. Tn compliance with 
the decision of their company John Humphrey their treasurer, not- 
ified Conant that they had elected him Governor, and would commit 
unto him the charge of all the affairs, as well fishing, as planting. 
At the same time, John Oldham who had been banished from Ply- 
mouth for zealous endeavors to carry out the plans of Lyford there, 



5G0 Histori/ (tiid Goti'alogies 

was invited to superintend the fur trade with the Indians, but he 
declined — Conant accepted. He was accompanied by Lyford, who 
was employed to preach for the colonists, was put under the author- 
ity of his friend and parishoner. Though Lyford and Conant were 
so* favorably situated still their former difficulty at Plymouth was 
warmly agitated in England among the proprietors of the plantation. 
One part of them in a numerous assembly for discussing the subject 
employed John White a Lawyer of London, the other engaged the 
Rev. Thomas Hooker. The conclusion was adverse to the case of 
Lvford, still his advocates being two thirds of the adventurers for- 
sook Governor Bradford, and his supporters with heavy responsibil 
ities. (N. B. H and G. R. Volume 2, page 2 3 6.) 

Hugh Peters and John Oldham: Hugh Peters returned to Lon- 
don by May 11, 1629, when he attended a Court of assistants who 
wer«? "convened to hear the proposition of Oldham in the charter 
of the Massachusetts Company. As to the manner of its being 
granted was suitable evidence of the royal party of England to over- 
throw the liberties of Congregationalism in New Plymouth and crush 
their budding everywhere they may appear. (N. B. H and G R. Vol. 

5.) 

Mary Oldham. Of those who came over in the Fortune Nov. 
1623, the first of those was William Bassett. His bans were pub-

Lecht, accompanied by Rodger and Edward Goddard; Mary Oldham,

The Freeman's Oath. Under the charter of Massachusetts 
Colony, none were regarded as freemen or members of the body 
liolitic, except such as were admitted by the General Court and took 
ihe Freeman's oath. This Court was continued in existence until 
by the second charter the Colony was transformed into a province. 
The names were orally stated then written down by the clerk, 
hence the various ways of writing Oldham. 

"I. A. B and C, being by the Almighty's most wise disi)ensation 
became a member of this body consisting of the Governor, Deputy 
Governor, assistants and commonality of the Colony of Massachu- 
setts in New England, do freely and sincerely acknowledge that I

57-i -History and Genealogies 

3. Son of Thomas, senior, went to Tyrone 1746, there was no 
assessment for Nottingham before 1719. 

Robert Oldham, senior, and his family were not friends. Thomas 
senior, and liis descendants all were Quarkers. 

Mr. Ely says: "Hardly think Robert Oldham, was a brother to 
Thomas, as he does not seem to be a Quaker, though he may have 
married out and lost membership prior to settlement in Nottingham. 
Do not think they descended from John Oldham, of Virginia 1635, 
but from John Oldham, late of Cheshire, England, on whose estate 
letters of administration were granted to Jonathan Oldham, at 
Philadelphia Aug. 22, 1698." This John Oldham ought to be inves- 
tigated thoroughly. He was old enough to have been the John Old- 
ham, who is said to have come to Virginia from England in 163 5." 



CHAPTEE 39. 
MOSES OLDHAM. 

(Named in Chapter 2, Section 3.) 

Article 1. — IMoses Olclliani, a son of William Oldham of l*riiK'e Will- 
iam County, Va., and Miss Basey his wife, was born in 

Vii'ftinia, probably in Fauquier County, which was carved out 
of I'rince William embracing the old home of William Oldham 
in the new County. 

He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary army, and made 
claim to the United States Congress for said service. He and several 
of his brothers emigrated from Fauquier County, Va., prior to the 
Revolutionary war, to Caswell County, North Carolina, where he was 
married to Mary Rice, a sister to John Rice who died in Caswell 
County abou't the year 1804 and devised property to the children of 
his sister Mary, and her husband, Moses Oldham, his said sister 
then being dead. Moses Oldham was then living in Montgomery 
County, Tenn, and was living there as late as 1810, in which year, 
he as the husband of Mary Rice, deceased, sister of John Rice, de- 
ceased, and their children, executed a power of attorney to Solomon 
Debow, of record in the clerk's office of the Supreme Court of Cas- 
well County, in which the names of the children are set forth towit: 

Section 1. George Oldham. 

Section 2. Jesse Oldham. 

Section 3. Moses Oldham. His grand son, Joseph Alexander 
McMurry, of Valley Mills, Texas, writes that "he thinks he came to 
Texas from Rutherford County, Tenn., in 1839. He once lived in 
Davidson County, Tenn., also at one time in Missouri. He married , 

first To whom two sons were born. He married for his j 

second wife Christiana Tarpley. She died about 1853, and was . 
buired on the old home place, where Moses Oldham settled in 1839, i 
three miles east of Caldwell, Burleson County, Texas. iMoses Old- j 
ham remained on this place with his negroes until 1860, his health

gave way, and his son-in-law Joseph McMurry, brought him 

home with him where he died in 1S61, (Miss T^illye Oldham of 
Brymer, Texas, writes that "Moses Oldham died at Robinson, 
McLennon County, Texas,") (His son Moses was buried in Robinson 
Cemetery, six miles south of Waco,) and was buried on the old 
home place, of Joseph McMurry, now owned by Joseph Alexander 
McMurry, where his father settled in 1855, who says he often heard 
his mother speak of Moses Oldham's brothers and especially of Con, 
her uncle, a very wealthy bachelor, who sometimes would partake 
too freely of mountain dew, which would make him feel very rich, 
when he would scatter handfuls of money all around the streets to 
everyone, which his friends would gather up and return to him when 
he sobered. His grand son Edward M. Oldham, of Brymer, Texas, 
remembered hearing his parents speak of their uncle Abraham 
Branthy. 

The father of the subject, Moses Oldham, whose name was also 
Moses, came to the new country of Tennessee from North Carolina. 
He and his sons and negroes went out a long way from the settle- 
ments into the cane brakes and located, and begun clearing up a 
farm — sowed a large patch in turnips — winter came on — provisions 
gave out — excepting the turnips, and they were too far out to take 
oxen and carts back to the settlement for the necessary provisions — • 
wild meat and turnips was their dependence until crops were made, 
or until winter broke, and one was appointeu each day to hunt game 
until a goodly supply was laid in. Moses seemeri to be the most 
expert hunter, and when meat was scarce, he at one time went hunt- 
ing for many successive days, when the snows were deep — several 
days went by without any success — coming in at night with feet 
frozen in his moccasins, he would roast turnips and poltice his feet 
with them to draw out the frost, and make ready for the next days 
hunt — the meat being entirely out — nothing but turnips to eat; so he 
and his dog, a small fice, started out in the morning plodding through 
the snow, not knowing whether he would find any. meat that day or 
not, but he had not gone more than a mile before his little dog ran to a 
large fallen tree and began to bark, — a very large fat bear who had 
made his bed on the opposite side of the log reached his head over 
to see what the trouble was — the little dog caught him by the nose 
and held his hold till Mr. Oldham put a rifle ball in his head, then 
returned home, got the oxen and cart and hands, and went and 
brought in his meat. 

Moses Oldham the subject of this sketch, was with Jackson at 
New Orleans in the battle with the British, and when his army horse 
died, he had him buried, saying the buzzards should not pick that 
horse's bones. He enlisted as a private in Captain Archibald Mc- 
Kinney's company of Colonel Robert H. Dyke's regiment of Tenn- 
essee volunteer cavalry, war of 1812. The muster roll of that 
organization on which his name appears, has remarks showing that 
he enlisted Sept. 24, 1813, honorably discharged Dec. 10, 1813, 
served two months and twenty five days, was allowed eight days 
for travelling 120 miles from Fayetteville to Franklin Court House, 
Williamson County after his discharge. 

He re-enlisted Sept. 28, 1814, as a private in Captain Richard 
Tate's company second (Williamsons) regiment, Tennessee mounted 
volunteer gun men, in the same war, to serve to April 27, 1815, and 
the roll on which his name appears shows that his service expired 
May 2, 1815, (serving seven months and five days) ana that he was 
allowed pay for traveling eighty miles from Nashville in Davidson 
County place of residence to Fayetteville, Lincoln County, where 
he was mustered into service.

of the enemy, and soon found one who had no use for his boots, 
and he shod himself. He was killed by a stroke of lightning in

ian. He raised an orphan girl named Lillye, who is now deriving 
in the largest dry goods establishment in Valley Mills. Mr. Mc- 
Murry was born and raised at a time when kin and good friends 
were appreciated. His parents reached Texas, when every man 
and woman had to help the other, all had to stand hand in 
hand for each others protection. He was born and largely 
raised on the frontier — schools were scarce, and he received 
only a limited education, he learned something of reading, 
writing, arithmetic and spelling. He moved to Valley Mills, 
Bosque County, Texas, several years ago, for two reasons, one 
was, he was unable to do much work on the farm, the other was, 
to educate his children. With a partner he engaged in mer- 
chandizing — they were driven to the wall by hard times and big 
credit, and he thinks unless the wheel of fortune makes a 
phenominal turn in his favor, he will be a hopeless bankrupt the 
balance of his days. We pray for the wheel to make the turn. 
Of the first marriage the following children were born, viz: 

1. Roxie Alice McMurry, born .Jan. 12, 1869, died March

ZERAH OLDHAM. 

(Named in Chapter 6, Section 2.) 

Ai'tiole 1. — Zerah Oldham, a son of Richard Oldham of E.still County, 
Ky., and Ann I'epper his wife, was born Feb. 12, 1781, in Cas- 
well County, North Carolina, and came with his parents to 
Kentucky about 1795, when the subject was about sixteen years 
of age. 

He married Amelia F. Collins, about 1807, a daughter of Stephen 
Collins and Catherine Mcintosh, his wife. Amelia was born Oct. 4, 
1791. The 16th day of November 1815, Zerah Oldham qualified as 
constable of Estill County, Ky., with Absalom Oldham and Alex- 
ander Collins as sureties. August 11, 1834, he qualified as admin- 
istrator of his father's estate. He owned lands in Clark County, 
Ky., as early as 1821, and as late as 183 0. He was living in Mont- 
gomery County, as early as 1836, and as late as 1839. 

On the 26th day of March 1836, in said County he, as adminis- 
trator executed a deed to Jesse Cobb (his brother-in-law.) Zerah 
Oldham emigrated to Missouri, where he died about 1843-4, and 
his wife died in the same state about 1874-5. The children born to 
them were as named in the following sections, 1 to 10 inclusive: 

Section 1. Eliza L. Oldham, born Oct. 8, 1808; married John 
Whitseil, of Lees Summit, Missouri. 

Section 2. Evaline C. Oldham, born Feb. 24, 1811, she died in 
Kentucky, unmarried. 

Section 3. Richard Oldham, born Sept. 4, 1813. He emigrated 
to Missouri, with his father, but returned to Kentucky, and married 

gabra and died in Montgomery County in 1854, leaving a will, 

probated at the October Term of Court 1854. He may have had 
other children, but those appearing on the Court records were: 

1. Benjamin P. Oldham. 

2. Alexis M. Oldham.

4. William Edward Oldham. 

At the date the will was probated, the three last named children 
were minors, and Burrell S. Tipton was appointed by the Court, 
their guardian. 

Section 4. Stephen Collins Oldham, was born Nov. :!, 1815, in 
Estill County, Ky., upon a farm near Red River, a tributary of the 
Kentucky, and not far from a village called from a newly started 
industry "Iron Works." On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1.S39, about 
three miles east of Indejiendence, Missouri, at the home of his 
bride's father, Samuel Shortridge, he was married to Susan Ann 
Shortridge, who was born .Jan. 6, 1823, on a farm in Bourbon 
County, Ky., about eight miles from Mt. Sterling, and three from 
North Midddk'ton. Amelia F. Collins, the mother of Stephen Collins 
Oldhani, was a daughter of Stephen Collins and his wife, Catherine 
Mcintosh, as above stated and was born Oct. 4, 1791. Stephen 
Collins was from Virginia — one of the fire side traditions of the 
family was Catherine's story of how when a girl she helped ^to 
mould bullets for the men who were fighting in defense of Boons- 
borough, during its seige by the Indians. There was a large family 
of Amelia's brothers and sisters, among whom were Joel Collins, of 
Oxford, Ohio, .Josiah Collins, a preacher, and Joseph Collins, both 
of Madison County, Ky., and James Collins of Sangamore County, 
Illinois. 

Mr. Oldham lived on the farm, where he w^as born till about five 
years of age, when the family moved to Clark County, Ky. Of the 
Estill County home, few recollections are preserved, but among them 
is one of the home in which they lived being blown down by a hurri- 
cane, and of seeing the logs of the house, and the corn from the 
crib scattered over the field. The house stood, about a half mile 
from Red River. On the removal of the family to Clark County, 
they settled about twelve miles from the town of Winchester and 
eight or nine from Mt. Sterling, but after a few years and when the 
subject was about the age of ten, they moved across the line into 
Montgomery County, on a farm about seven miles from Mt. Sterling, 
which continued to be their home till they emigrated to Missouri 
in 1839. The Montgomery County farm, was a tract of fertile land 
'On the North Fork of Lulbegrud Creek, but broken and in places 
rocky, some of it was finely timbered, including a maple forest frojn 
which as a part of the winter labors of the farm they made the 
sugar supply of the family. They raised chiefly corn, marketed by 
fattening hogs, which used to be driven south in the fall to market 
in South Carolina and Georgia. The house stood on a hill sloping 
toward the north east, to a spring and was about a mile and a half 
from the Creek. It was a comfortable two story building, with 
two rooms and a gallery below, and two above. Here Mr. Oldham 
grew to manhood, in the ordinary life of a country boy of the period. 
His first school teacher was in Clark County — one Joe Hornback, 
and he attended two winter schools in Montgomery County. A 
better opportunity was afterwards afforded him for a while when at 
fifteen rears of age he spent over a year with his uncle Joel Collins, 
of Oxford. Ohio." Mr. Collins was secretary of Miami University at 
that place — the alma mater of so many distinguished western men, 
and though not prepared to enter the University, young Oldham had 
here for "a short time the advantage of a good school. He joined 
the Christian Church at the age of twenty, being baptized by Elder 
John Smith, a pioneer preacher distinguished for his eloquence 
and ability, and whose memory has been lovingly preserved to our 
times, under the homely nick name of "Raccoon John Smith." With 
this church his wife afterwards in her twentieth year, united, and 



582 History and Genealogies 

the family life has been throughout the whole course one of modest, 
but deep and trustful piety. To have led through every trial for 
seventy years the life of a consistent and devoted christian is the 
lot of few. In the fall of 1836, Mr. Oldham then just of age, went 
to Independence, Jackson County, Mo., where he remained and 
worked about a year, and where he cast his first vote, which was 
with the whig party. He then returned to his father's home in Ken- 
tucky, and there remained till the fall of 1839, when the entire 
family removed to Missouri. They travelled of coure in wagons, 
crossed into Ohio, and journeyed west across Indiana and Illinois. 
In the latter state they overtook and joined one evening a party of 
several families from an adjoining County of Kentucky, and bound 
for the same destination, who had camped for the night in a wood 
at the edge of a prairie. Among them were Samuel Shortridge and 
family of Bourbon County, Ky. They were not previously acquainted 
but being from adjoining Counties, knew each other by reputation, 
like most Kentucky pioneer families living in the same part of the 
state. In the family of Samuel Shortridge was a daughter, Susan 
Ann Shortridge, then in her seventeenth year, and the journey across 
the Western prairies together was only the beginning of a longer 
one in which as husband and wife, these two of the emigrgants 
have since gone on together for sixty seven years. (Xmas Eve 1906). 
The parties travelled In company across Illinois, separating in the 
western part of the state. The Bourbon County party went by way 
of St. Louis, while the Oldhams crossed the Mississippi at Alton. 

West of the River they came together again, and finished the 
journey in company to their destination. Independence, Jackson 
County on the western border of Missouri. The trip they describe 
as a delig'htful one, the weather was pleasant, the roads good, both 
families were accompanied by their negro servants — for both were 
slave owners — who relieved them of the hardest of the labors o% 
the camp, and march, and the free gypsy life of the road was little 
hardships to pioneers. 

Susan Ann Shortridge Oldham, was born on a farm in Bourbon 
County, Ky., about eight miles from Mt. Sterling and three from 
North Middleton. Her mother died when Susan Ann was about 
four vears old, and her father married a second wife, Mary Bryan, 
daughter of Jonathan Bryan, living near Winchester, Clark County, 
Kentucky. 

Of her grand parents Susan Ann can give only the names of 
her father's mother, Nancy Shortridge, and her mother's father 
William Yates, of Montgomery County, Ky. Kindred are remem- 
bered of the names of Shortridge, Hedges and Owens, whose relation- 
ship cannot be definitely stated. Of the brothers of Samuel Short- 
ridge — one John Shortridge, a widower lived with him, George 
William and Charles, lived at some distance. Of his sisters, Susan 
Harris, Nancy, wife of James Hedges, and Polly, wife of William 
Butler, all lived near; Mrs. Hopper lived in Henry County, Ky., and 
Betsv, wife of George Shortridge, a cousin, lived in Indiana. Jesse 
Yates, a brother of Sarah Yates, lived near Mt. Sterling, was a man 
in good circumstances, and had several sons. 

Arriving at Independence, in November, Samuel Shortridge pur- 
dhased and settled on a farm about three miles east of that place, 
and here on Christmas Eve, 1839, his daughter Susan or Ann. as 
she was usuallv called, was married to Stephen Collins Oldham, 
whose familv had settled about a mile and a half v/est of the town. 
The young couple, remained at the Shortridge home that season, 
but the ne'^xt fall set up house-keeping in a liome of their own, about 
a mile and a half south east of Independence. Two years were 
spent in this first home, the following two upon a farm purchased 



Ilistoni mil/ (Inicnloc/ips 583 

from .Mr. Short ridge, between Mill Creek and Hliie, near ihe present 
Kansas City, which was then not even a village. The place proved 
malarious and unhealthful, and they bought and removed to another 
about five miles south of Independence, in a rich i)rairie country, 
but then called the "condemned land," because it was ihoughl that 
it could not be settled for lack of timber. They resided there six 
or seven years. Trade was opening with the south west at this time, 
and Independence was the starting point for wagon trains carrying 
merchandise from New Mexico, over the old Indian haunted Santa 
Fe trail. Mr. Oldham engaged in this business in connection with 
his brother-in-law, Ben Thomi)son, and made the trip to Santa Fe 
in 1S4S, returning by the same route and being absent about four 
months. Another trip was made by Mr. Thompson. Another re- 
moval now took place, to a farm purchased in Cass County — the new 
home was about three miles from the Kansas line — nine from 
Harrisonville the County seat, and about a mile from a village called 
Morristown, near the present town of Freeman. The farm was 
a fine body of land of 160 acres, about 40 in timber, the rest prairie. 
Their first house here was a log cabin — later they built a comfortable 
frame house, and had an excellent orchard, and good imi)rovements. 
In 1S,51, soon after moving here Mr. Oldham ventured again on 
the toilsome and perilous, but fascinating business of the Santa Fe 
trail. This time he was absent seven months, going to El Paso, 
and returning on horse back through Texas, by way of San Antonio, 
and Austin. For ten years peace and prosperity smiled upon the 
Cass County homestead. But darker days were at hand. The storm 
which in 1861, gathered over the country from sea to sea, hung no 
^ where with blacker terrors than over the Missouri and Kansas 
border. Mr. Oldham (like most of the Whig party) was attached 
to the Union, but his feelings were not shared by the family. 

Samuel, his eldest son was early in the ranks of the Southern 
Army. Morristown the neighboring village, was occupied by the 
forces to which he was attached and their pickets were posted in 
the yard of the homestead. In October 1861, the position was at- 
tacked by a Federal force, from Kansas under Jamison. The family 
fled during the fight to Pleasant Hill, returning in a few days long 
enough to gather up their household effects they turned their backs 
on the home, which they were to occupy no more. Going to Jack- 
son County they rented the Brookin place about six or seven miles 
south of Independence, a farm on which they raised the next year 
a fine crop. On the first of October following, they were required 
to move on a few days notice under what is known as the "Ewing 
Order." This ruthless decree issued on August 25, 1863, by the 
commander of the department in retaliation for the raid upon 
Lawrence by Quantrill's guerrillas required the removal of every 
family living within three miles of the border Counties of Missouri, 
within fifteen days, from its issuance and converted this rich and 
once prosperous country into a desert. A yoke of steers belonging 
to their land-lord (their own had been carried off) was hitched 
to an old abandoned wagon, into which Mr. Oldham had hastily 
fitted a tongue — the only remaining horse "Big Shoulder," left to 
them, because so worthless that no one would take him, was har- 
nassed to an old buggy, and lea\ing everything they possessed, the 
fugitives found refuge in Charitan County, sheltering themselves and 
six children in an old tobacco barn on the Ellington place, three 
miles from the village of Roanoke, and twelve from Glasgow. Here 
they passed the winter. 

In the spring they rented the Williams place in the same neigh- 
borhood. The next year they moved again, starting to go to Illinois, 
but stopped in Marion County, Mo., near Palmyra, and about twelve 



584 Histofji and Gcnralor/ir'S 

miles from Hannibal. There upon a farm known as the Young place, 
Mr. Oldham made a crop the last year of the war. In the fall of 
18 65, they returned to Jackson County. Here on February 23, 
1866, while stopping at the home of their sister, Mrs. Thompson, 
the second son William, a youth in his eighteenth year was killed 
by the accidental discharge of a pistol. They rented again this year 
the Brookin place, and here rejoiced to welcome back their firs'^ 
born. Samuel returned in safety from the thousand perils of four 
years service in Shelby's Confederate Cavalry, from which he 
brought back nothing but a name among his comrades for steady 
courage, in the face of every form of danger and indomitable cheer- 
fulness under every extremity of hardship. The Cass County farm 
Mr. Oldham had been compelled to sell during the war for the 
little which it would bring in such troublous times. 

With his family of young and helpless children he found him- 
self stripped of everything, but courage and constancy. In the fall 
of 1866, the reunited family sought a new home in the south west. 
They moved in wagons through the Indian Territory to Fannin 
County on the Northern border of Texas, where they lived for the 
seven years following. An incident of the journey through the ter- 
ritory, which threatened to make misfortune complete was the loss 
from the wagon of the satchel containing the little hoard remain- 
ing for the sale of their property. A vigorous pursuit and seach 
succeeded in reclaiming it from the hands of a wayfarer who had 
picked it up. Their homes were, Dr. Smith's farm on Red River, 
one year, Bonhani, one year, the Harris place, three miles east of 
Bonliam, one year, the Rowland place seven miles east of Bonham 
and near the present town of Dodd City, three years, and the Beasley 
place in the same neighborhood, one year. 

The first venture in the new state had proved unfortunate. The 
Smith farm was in the Red River bottom — unusual floods sv/ept 
away a larg part of the crop, and the malarial sickness incident to 
such a season and locality was severely felt. But having reached 
their worst, and left little prospect of becoming other than a tenant 
farmer, matters begun to mend, somewhat, under the steady force 
of economy and hard work. Railroads had not yet penetrated the 
country, and the employment of wagoning to the nearest market, 
the town of Jefferson in Eastern Texas, gave fairly profitable 
returns in the intervals of farm labor. The school maintained at 
Bonham by Rev. Charles Carlton an eminent and inspiring teacher, 
to whom education in Texas is under obligations, gave opportunity 
to the elder children to complete a fragmentary education obtained 
under great difficulties. In the fall of 1873, Mr. and Mrs. Oldham 
and their family now reduced to three daughters and two sons, 
removed to Cook County, Texas, taking a small farm north of and 
just out side the limits of the town of Gainesville, which belonged 
to their son-in-law E. H. Crenshav/. This they occupied two years. 
In t'he fall of 1875, they moved into the town of Gainesville. In 
September 1876, they moved to Sherman, Texas, which was then 
the home of their daughters Mary and Ann. They had reached the 
time of life when the incidents of a family history are no longer 
the births and marriages which add to its number, but the sadder 
chronicle which tells how, from love's shining circle the gems drop 
away." Mr. Queer, the son-in-lav^ had died on June 27, 1875, 
their son James S. Crenshaw died at Sherman on Feb. 17, 1878. It 
was nearlv twenty years before they were called to mourn another 
break in the family circle, Samuel the oldest son, died at Bonham 
Sept. 27, 1897. 

In Sherman for the first time since the storm of the Civil War 
had left them houseless fugitives, they found themselves in enjoy- 



J/is/iiri/ mill I Icudilogies 585 

ment of their own lioiuc .Mr. Oldham purchased a residence on 
South Travis street. Soon there were only himself and wife to claim 
shelter, for the youngest son had left to begin the successful winning 
of his way in the world, but the home was slill a gathering i)lace 
for children and grand-children. None of these howrvc'r had re- 
mained in Sherman, and in 1887, they sold their ho - \ and built 
a new one in the neighboring town of Denison, near to that of the 
daughter Ann, who with her husband, had become resident of that 
Iilace. Here they dwelt for the following ten years. They were 
of the sort that never lacked for good neigh])ors, and the familiar, 
but loving title of Grand-pa, and Grand-nia Oldham was bestowed 
l)y all who knew them. 

In 1896, a "hazard of new fortune," called Mr. Wilkinson and 
his wife to the State Capitol at Austin. The parents were strongly 
urged to abandon house-keeping and make their home with them 
and consented to do so. Here they have passed tranquilly the years 
succeeding. On the third of Nov. 1906, Mr. Oldham celebrated his 
ninety first birth day. Much of the time during each year has been 
spent in visits to their other children. Their life's work is done. 
The recording angel need drop few tears over the page. It is an 
honorable, a manly, and a womanly record, of which the children's 
children's children whom they see about their knees, may justly 
feel proud. Their lot has been toilsome and obscure. They have 
known hardship and grief, but they have wronged no one, and have 
helped many. They have eaten the bread of their own labor, and 
have owed no man. They have hated none, and have loved and been 
loved by many. Most of all, they have done their service in the 
world as those who believed it to be a training for immortality and 
they await in Christian faith the words, "Enter thou unto the joy 
of thy Lord." In short it can be recalled, how often has been heard 
the casual enquiry about this family coupled with the words "The 
best people I ever knew." The children born to them were as 
named in the following sub-sections 1 to 9 inclusive, viz: 

1. Samuel Zerah Oldham, born about a mile and a half south 
east of Independence, Mo., Dec. 24, 1840, the first wedding anni- 
versary of his parents. He was early in the ranks of the Southern 
Armv," Shelby's forces, in the Civil War, as detailed in the fore- 
going sketch of his father. While living at Bonham, Fannin 
County, on the northern border of Texas, Feb. 7, 18 69, he was 
married to Ellen Moore. He died at Bonham, Se])t. 27, 1897, 
His family still live at that place. 

2. Sarah Oldham, born Aug. 3, 1843, on the farm between Mill 
Creek and Blue, near the present Kansas City, which was then 
not even a village. 

3. Mary Amelia Oldham, born Nov. 4, 1845, on the farm about 
five miles south of Independence, Mo., in a rich prairie country, bur 
then called the "condemned land," because it was thought it could 
not be settled for lack of timber. While living at the Rowland 
place in Fannin County, Texas, she married .Tuly 29, 1869, to E. 
H. Crenshaw. They made their home in Sherman, Texas, where 
Mr. Crenshaw died Feb. 17, 1878. 

4. William Shortridge Oldham, born Dec. 22, 1848, on the 
prairie farm five miles south of Independence. In his eighteenth 
year, he was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol, whilst 
the family were stopping with his aunt Mrs. Thompson, in Jack- 
son County, Mo. 

5. Ann Maria Oldham, born in their log cabin home in Cass 
County, :\Io., about three miles from the Kansas line — nine from 
Harrisonville, the County Seat, and about a mile from a village 
called Morristown Aug. 18, 18 52. At the home in Gainesville,

Texas, Nov. 4, 1875, she was married to A. E. Wilkinson, a dis- 
tinguished lawyer of Sherman, Texas. Afterwards they became 
residents of Denison, Texas. In 1896, a "hazard of new fortune,"

CHAPTEE n. 
OKlham Family Tree. 

By R. C. Ballard Thurston, May 1899. 

I. John Oldham, came from England in March 163 5, and set- 
tled in Virginia. I have learned very little of him or his sons, but 
a correspondent thinks that a celebrated family of that name in 
Maryland is descended from him. He is supposed to have settled 
in what afterwards became Westmoreland County, Va., but only 
from the fact that one of his grand-sons lived there. I have not 



nishiri/ iiiiil f!rtir(ili)(/ics 587 

learned the name of his wife, and know of only one son. 

II. Thomas Oldham, nothins? is known of him. (>xccpt llmi lie 
left a son: 

III. Colonel Samuel Oldham, born IGSO, died 17(j2; married 
Elizabeth Newlon, born lliST; died 1759. He had estate in West- 
moreland County, where he is supijosed to have lived and died, 
leaving several children. His title, Colonel, is supposed to have Ix'cn 
derived from his rank in the County militia. 

.lohn Newton, the emigrant came from Virginia about Hl.jO-CO, 
lirobably with a first wife and three sons, was in Westmoreland 
County in 1672: married second time between 1673 and 1677, Rose 

who was the widow of first .lohn Tucker, and .second Hon. 

Thomas Gerrard, both of Westmoreland County. He was Master 
and Mariner. His will was dated Aug. 19, 169.5, probated .Tuly 1699, 
in which he mentions a son John, and his four children (one of 
whom was named William) a son .loseph and his three sons, and 
a son Benjamin, and his daughter all by the first marriage, and by 
the second marriage, son Gerrard, daughter Elizabeth (who married 
Thomas Willoughby) and a son Thomas, all the second set were 
apparently single in 1695. The Elizabeth Newton who married 
Colonel Samuel Oldham, was most likely a daughter of either John 
or Benjamin Newton, by the first set, but this is a matter for 
investigation. 

In Bishop Meade's work "Old Churches," etc, of V>a. Vol. 2 
pages 151, etc. on Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, he speaks 
of Welmington,, the family seat of the Newtons, and says: "In the 
same grave yard is the tomb of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham, wife of 
Colonel Samuel Oldham, who died in 1759, in her 72nd year." I 
know the name of only one son: 

nil. John Oldham, born in Westmoreland County in 17U5, died 

: married Ann Conway. The only Conway named Ann, 

mentioned by Hayden in his Virginia Genealogies who could have 
married John Oldham, was the oldest child of Edwin Conway, 
third of Lancaster County, as he was born in 1681, and married 
Ann Ball in 1704, and their child Anne, was probably born about 
1705, but she married Robert Edmunds June 10, 1729. Hayden 
asks "Did she marry second 1752, Thomas Chinn?" 

The only dates I have for the births or the children of John Old- 
ham and Ann Conway are 17:36 and 1753, so I think it most likely 
that she was the daughter of Edwin Conway third, and did not marry 
Thomas Chinn in 1752. (Note: It will be noticed that William Old- 
ham of Fauquier County, Va., who married Miss Basey, had a son 
Conway, and the name "Conway" was continued for generations; 
several of his grand-children and great grand-children were named 
Conway.) They had eight children: 

1. Conway Oldham, second Lieutenant 12th Virginia regiment 
in Revolution Dec 1776, first Lieutenant April 2, 1777, transferred 
to eighth Virginia Sept. 3, 1778, Captain in 1780, and killed at 
Eutah Springs South Carolina Sept. 8, 17 81, unmarried. 

2. A daughter, who married Mr. Lawrence Ross of Fauquier 
County, Va., and left two sons Presley and Neville Ross. 

3. A daughter, who married Mr. Barton. 

4. A daughter, who married Mr. Rector, and had two sons 
Presley and Neville Rector. 

5. Winifred Oldham, born 1736, died 1797; married Aug. 24, 
1754, Colonel John Neville in Virginia. (See Sec.) 

6. Samuel Oldham: died in 1825: married twice and settled 
in Kentucky. (See Sec.) 

7. Mary Ann Oldham: married Major Abraham Kirkpatrick. 
See Section.) 



588 History and Genealogies 

8. Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, born 1745, according 

to Miss Keys, but June 17, 17 53, according his widows family 

bile. Killed at St. Clair's defeat Nov. 4, 1791: married Miss 

Penelope Pope of Louisville. (See Section.) 

IIII 5. Winifred Oldham, according to the notes I have, was the 

fifth child and born in 1736. This I think must be a mistake, she 

was probably the first child, I am satisfied that the eighth child was 

born 1753, or rather the eighth child that lived, for there may have 

been one or more, who died in infancy, this would make 17 years 

between Winifred andthe eighth child known. 

Again, if I am right in supposing that her mother was the Anne 
Conway, (daughter of Edwin Conway, third) who married Robert 
Edmunds, in 1729, she must have married second John Oldham, 
not later than 173 5. According to Miss Keys Winifred, was born 
173 6 ,died 179 7, married at the age of 18 on Aug. 24, 1754, in 
Virginia, General John Neville, of Pittsburg, Penn., where both of 
them are buried, in the old Presbyterian Church Yard. General 
Neville was Colonel of the second or third Virginia Regiment in 
the Revolution and was brevetted General after the war. Was 
Marshall of the District of Pennsylvania during che whiskey insur- 
rection, when his home was burned by a mob, led l)y a Breckinridge. 
Miss Keys says, "I think there is a connection with the Neville 
family further back than the marriage of Winifred Oldham and 
General or rather Colonel Neville of Pittsburg. 

Presley as a given name occurs in the Oldham family prior 
to the time of marriage of Winifred and John Neville. Presley is 
a Neville name, as Colonel John Neville, had a brother Presley, 
also a grand-nephew Presley Neville Pepper, who was the grand- 
father of Paul Cain, of Louisville, Ky. They had but two children, 
according to Miss Keys, who claims to have a comple;e record of 
their descendants: 

1. Presley 'Neville. 

2. Amelia Neville; married Major Isaac Craig, of the Revolu- 
tion. 

IIII 6. Samuel Oldham, moved to Jefferson County, Va., (now 
Kentucky) where the old minute book shows that he took his oat'i 
of office as Magistrate Aug. 7, 1787, and appeared as security for 
his brother, William Oldham, who had been appointed sheriff on 
Sept. 3, 1786. He married at Louisville, but such records do not 
anti-date 17 84. He left a will on record at Louisville, dated Sept. 
4, 1820, a codical to which is dated Jan. 23, 1823, probated Feb. 
10, 1823, and recorded in will book 2, page 214, in which he men- 
tions his wife Ann, and all his children except John, the husband of 
each of his daughters except 1 and 7, they probably being dead at 
the time. He left his son, Conway trustee for several of his mar- 
ried daughters and his son Henry in whom he seems to have had 
but little confidence. He therefore died early in 1825. Samuel Old- 
ham married first Jane Cunningham, and had one child: 

1. Sarah Oldham, born 1772, died 1830, married William 
Merriwether, Virginia History May, Oct. '97, Volume and 198. 
The license was issued May 22, 17 88, but there was no return. 
They were ancestors of Mr.s Udolpho Snead of Louisville, Ky. 

Samuel Oldham: married second Ann Lipscomb, and had ten 
children : 

2. Nancy Oldham; married Thompson Taylor, license issued 
Feb. 15, 1796, and return made Feb. 18, 1796. 

3. Conway Oldham: married Frances Ross, license issuel Dec. 
26, 1800. return made Jan. 1, 1801, by Henry Poitorff. He left 
a will dated Nov. 2 5, 182 5, a codicil to which was dated Nov. 
8, (probably an error for 28) 1825, probated Dec. 8, 1825, and 



//ishiri/ mill (Iciiciihigies 589 

recorded in will hook 2, pa.a;e 308, at Louisville, Ky. He mentions 
his wife, Frances, Iwo of his children as married and the other as 
single: 

3-1. Nancy Oldham; married Frederick Herr, license issued 
Feb. 3, 1821, return made Feb. 4, 1821, by .lames Vance. 

3-2. Suf-au OUih.am: married John Hen-, .Ir., license issued and 
return made by Ben Allen April 10, 1822. 

3 (3-12) Samuel, Pre.sley, Mary, Ann, Conway, Fllurah, Eliz- 
abeth, ^Martha and William Levi Oldham, all single 1825. 

4. William Oldham: married Elizabeth Field. The license was 
issued for him and Betsy Field, daughter of Reuben Field May 1, 
1806, and return made May 6, 1806, by .James Vance. He "left 
a will dated Feb. 25, 1826, probated April 3, 1826, and recorded 
in will book 2, i)age 319, at Louisville, Ky. He mentions having 
inherited a farm from his father, Samuel Oldham, also his wife 
Elizabeth, who "shall keep all my children that are not married 
together," but does not mention their names. Among the m.u-ri- 
age records I find the following whom I take to be his children: 

4-1. Elvise Oldham, (daughter of William Oldham) and .Jeff- 
erson Overstreet, license issued and return made by Richard 
Corwin, March 18, 1825. 

4-2. :\Ioses Oldham, and Elizabeth C. McDaniel, daughter of 
Elijah and Sarah McDaniel, license issued July 1, 1824, return 
made July 4, 1824, by P. S. Fall. 

5. Patsey Oldham; died single. 

6. Henry Oldham; married Elizabeth and lived 2 miles 

south of Louisville, Ky., on Salt River, no record of his marriage 
here. 

7. Winifred Oldham. On Nov. 22, 1809, a marriage license 
was issued to Winny Oldham, daughter of Samuel Oldham and 
Carver Mercer, the return was made Nov. 26, 1809, by Nathan 
H. Hall. 

8. Elizabeth Oldham; married Levi Tyler of Louisville, Ky. The 
license was issued and marriage return made Oct. 4, 1810, by 
Joseph Oglesby. They certainly had one son: 

8-1. Henry Tyler; married Miss Rebecca Gwathney, and 
had a large family. One of them was recently Mayor of Louis- 
ville. 

9. Mary Oldham. On Feb. 12, 1815, a license was issued for 
Polly Oldham, daughter of Samuel Oldham, and Walter Powers, 
but no return was made, though she is mentioned in her father's 
will, as the wife of Walter Powers. 

10. John Oldham; died in infancy. 

11. Amelia Oldham: married Charles L. Harrison, license was 
issued May 15, 1817. and return made May 16, 1817, by D. C. 
Banks. They certainly had three children, whom the writer has 
known; 

11-1. Kate Harrison; married William McDowell Bent, of 
Louisville, but died without issue. 

11-2. Amelia Harrison; married Thomas Speed of Louisville, 
but now of Asheville, North Carolina. 

11-3. Julia ? Harrison; married Harry Dumisdel, of 

Louisville, 
nil 7. Mary Ann Oldham; married Major Abraham K^irkpat- 
rick of the Revolution and had two sons, and three daughters ac- 
cordirg to my mother's notes, but only three daughters are men- 
tioned by Miss Keys: 

1. Mary Ann Kirkpatrick; married Dr. Joel Lewis. 

2. Amelia Louisa Kirkpatrick; married Judge Shaler, of Pitts- 
burg, Penn. 



590 Historif and Genealogies 

3. Elizabeth Kirkpatrick; married Christopher Cowan. 

nil S. Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, was born 1745, ac- 
cording to Miss Keys, his widow's family Bible, however, states he 
was bora, June 17, 1753, and is probably correct, for he was a 
young man at the outbreak of the Revolution, serving as first Lieu- 
tenant in Nelson's Independent Pennsylvania Rifle Company from 
Jan. 30, 17 7 6, to Jan. 1777. The Jefferson County, Va., (now Ky.) 
Minute Book, contains the following references to him: 

"April 6, 1784, William Oldham, was present at a meeting of 
the Justices of the Peace, he being one of them. 

"April 10, 1784. Ordered to take a list of the tithables at the 
Falls of the Ohio, and other points. 

"May 4, 1784. Present at a meeting of Justices of the Peace. 

"July 6, 17 84. Ordered to appraise the estate of George Meri- 
weather. , 

"Nov. 3, 1784. Appointed Deputy Surveyor. 

"August 12, 1785. Produced his commission as Justice of the 
Peace, and of Oyer and Terminer. 

"Sept. 6, 1785, appointed Deputy Surveyor. 

"Nov. 2, 1786, recommended for Major. 

"Nov. 8, 1786, recommendsd for Lieutenant Colonel. 

"Dec. 6, 1786, took oath as Major. 

"Feb. 5, 1788, recommended for Lieutenant Colonel. 

"May 7, 17 88, present at a meeting of Justices of the Peace. 

"Sept. 2, 1788, produced commission as sheriff, gave bond, with 
Samuel Oldham as surety and took oath of office. 

"Sept. 3, 1788, judgment of the Justices that the admission of 
William Oldham to the office of sheriff was premature and his 
bond was surrendered. 

"Oct. 7, 1788. Produced commission as sheriff and took oath, 
etc. He married on July 2 4, 17 83, Miss Penelope Pope, born Feb. 
12, 1769, died Sept. 16, 1821, (daughter of Colonel William Pope 
and his wifee Penelope Edwards of Louisville.) 

He was Lieutenant Colonel in command of the Kentucky militia 
when he was killed at St. Clair's defeat on Nov. 4, 1791, and sent 
home to his wife, his gold watch and chain, which he had on when 
he fell mortally wounded. His will was dated Sent. 6. 1791, pro- 
bated Dec. 6, 1791 and recorded in will book 1, page 29, at Louis- 
ville, Ky., which I quote as follows: I leave to my wife, Penelope 
the tract of land on Chenowith Run, and negro man Bosen, with 
household furniture and one third part of all my stock forever. 
Also during her widowhood, I leave to her Gilbert and Violet. The 
residue of my estate both real and personal I bequeath with the two 
negroes that I leave my wife Penelope, during her widowhood to 
be equally divided between my four children John, Richard, Abigail, 
and William Oldham, excepting a preemption of 400 acres near 
Butler's Lick," etc. etc., appointed Richard G. Anderson, Richard 
Taylor and Jacob Funk, Gents, executors, witnessed by George 
Pearce. His widow afterwards married Henry Churchill, whose 
youngest brother married her daughter, Abigail. 

(Note: — Mr. Samuel Oldham of Zanesville, Ohio, in his letter, 
recorded in this volume, states that Samuel Oldham, who died at 
Louisville, Ky., in 1823, and his sister Winifred Oldham, the wife 
of Colonel John Neville, were brother and sister to Isaac Oldham, 
(his grand-father) and were not a brother and a sister to Lieuten- 
ant Colonel William Oldham, who was killed at St. Clair's defeat, 
November 4, 1791. He also states that Lieutenat Colonel William 
Oldham, was a son of said Isaac Oldham, by his first marriage, but 
it will be noticed that Isaac Oldham's will in which he makes 



ffishin/ ami (IfiicaJof/ics .'IM 

])equest to his son William, was not piobaled till 1S21, thirty years 
after th(^ death of Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham.) (Writer.) 

liis children were:

2. Major Ricahrd Oldham, born March i:;, 17S7. (See Sec.)

4. William Oldham, born — 1791, before his father started on 
the campaign in which he lost his life, bnt the child died yonng, 
aged about four or five years. 
IIII-8-1. Judge John Pope Oldham, born Feb. 28, 178,5, left a 
will on record at Louisville, Ky., will book 3, page 216, but I did 
not examine it. He was for many years Judge of the Circuit Court 
at Louisville, Ky., and one of the most iirominent and highly respec- 
ted citizen. His wife was Miss MaMnda Talbott, daughter of Dr. 
Talbot of Huntsville, Alabama. She lived to an extreme old age, 
surviving her husband, and all her own children, leaving a will 
recorded at Louisville, Ky., in will book 9, page 3 49, but I did not 
examine it. They had four children, but T do not know the order 
in which they were born: 

1. William Oldham: died without issue. 

2. Talbot Oldham; died without issue.

born at Gordon in 1762, died in Brussels March 24, 1820. In 1792, 
he was elected to the National Convention where he vr)ted for the 
death of Louis XVI. As commissioner to the army in Lor Vendee, 
and afterwards to that in the Pyranres, he gave evidence of energy 
and talent. He took i)art in the Thermidonans against Robespierre, 
and was sent on a third mission to the army of the Rhine, and 
Moselle. 

On the (1st Prairial) May 20, 1795, he commanded the troops 
who vainly attempted to protect the convention against the insur- 
gents. On ([the 13 Vende Maire) Oct. 5, he was assistant to Barras, 
and Bonaparte in repelling the attack by the sections. For a short 
time he was a member of the Council of 500. In 1806, he entered 
the service of Joseph Bonaparte at Naples, and was continued under 
Murat. In 1815, during the hundred days, he was prefect of the 
Somme. On the second restoration he was expelled from France, 
as a regicide, and took up his residence in Brussels, where he 
lived in obscurity. ( Amer.-Cyclo. ) 

Section 11. Eleonore Louis Godefroy Cavaignac, son of Jean 
Baptiste Cavaignac, born in Paris, in 1801, died May 5. 1845, was a 
French Journalist. He was one of the most popular leaders of the 
Republican party, during the revolution and the reign of Louis 
Philipjie. He distinguished himself in the Revolution of July, but 
upon the elevation of Louis Philippe to the throne he took part in 
the conspicracy for the overthrow of the new dynasty and was sev- 
eral times arrested and put on trial. After the out break of April 
1834, he was arrested and sent to prison but escaped July 13, 1835, 
and retired to Belgium. In 1841, he returned to France and became 
one of the editors of the Reforme, the most violent of the oppo- 
sition journals. ( Amer.-CycIo.) 

Section 12. Louis Eugene Cavaignac, a brother to Eleonore 
Louis Godefroy Cavaignac, a French General, born in Paris Oct. 
15, 1802, died at his country seat Chatean Ournes, department of 
Sarthe, Oct. 28, 1857. He was educated at the polytechnic school, 
entered the army as sub-Lieuteant of Engineers, took part in the 
French expedition to the Mona, and was appointed Captain in 1829. 
On the Revolution of 1830, he declared for the new order of things, 
but soon entered the association national, an organization of the 
op])osition, for which he was, for a while, discharged from active 
service. In 1832, he was sent to Africa. Being entrusted in 1836 
with the command of Tlemcan, he held this advanced fortified post 
for three years against the assaults of the Arabs. In 183 9, by reason 
of impaired health he asked to be placed on leave, he was then a 
Major. A few months later he returned to Africa, where his defense 
of Cherchell was no less brilliant than that of Tlemcan. In 1840 
he wa« rro^.^oted Colonel of the Zouaves-, and in 184 1, he was made 
Brigadier General and Governor of the Province of Oran. On the 
Revolution of February, 1848, he was appointed Governor General 
of Algeria, and promoted to the rank of General of division. The 
same year he was elected to the constitutionaal assembly and was 
allowed to leave Algeria to take his seat as a representative. He 
reached Paris two days after the disturbance of May 15, and was 
immediately appointed Minister of war. In a few weeks 7 5,000 



002 Ilisforji ami (rciira/of/ies 

regular troops were gathered within the walls, while 190,000 nation- 
al guards were ready to support them against the threatened rising 
of the working classes. Yet the insurrection broke out on the dis- 
foluMon of the Atitier Xationaux. On June 22, barricades were 
erected in the most central parts of the city. Cavaignac concen- 
trated his troops in order finally to bear on the principal points 
with irrp.-istable force. The assembly having invested him with dic- 
tatorial power.s, the struggle commenced June 23, and was continued 
with internicine fury for seventy hours, resulting in a complete 
victory for the government. On June 29, Cavaignac resigned his 
dictatorship, and he was unanimously elected chief of the executive 
power. He declined several propositions to make him President for 
four years without recourse to an election. The election for Pres- 
ident took place Dec. 10, and out of 7,327,345 votes, Cavaignac 
received but 1,448,107. After the Coupdetat of Dec. 1851, he was 
arrested and sent to the castle of Ham, his name being placed at 
the head of the list of the proscribed. Having been set at liberty 
he lived for a time in retirement in Belgium, and when he returned 
to Prance, resided mainly at his country seat in the department 
of Sarthe. In 1852, he was elected to the Legislative body, but re- 
fused to take the oath of . allegiance to the Emperor. In 1857, he 
was again chosen by the electors of the third district of Paris, but 
again refused to take the oath. This was the last public act of his 
life. One morning as he was leaving the house to visit a friend he 
suddenly expired in the arms of an attendant without uttering a 
word. ( Amer.-Cyclo. ) 

Section 13. Julia Kavanaugh, a British authoress, born in 
Thurles, Ireland, in 1824, died Oct. 28, 1877. She early went with 
her parents to France, where she was educated. In 1844, she took 
up her residence in London. She iniblished in 1847, a tale 
for children, entitled "The Three Paths." This was followed by

CHAPTER 2. 
THE KAVANAUGH FAMILY. 

Article 1. — ^Iii the Coiiuty of Cavan, or Kavan, Pi-ovince of lister, 
Ireland, was a Cliurch and school of the name Kilkaavan, at 
whfth Dani«'l Kavanauiili was ednoated, and he was the first 
to bear the sur-nanie "Kavanaufsh," the .snflfix "angh" meaning 
"of." The name is spelled coiiimencintf with either the letter 
"C" or letter "K," hut most frequently with the latter. 

On November 5, 1688, King James II, of England upon the land- 
ing at Torbay of William Prince of Orange with fifteen thousand 



fhslori/ iiiiiJ H riiriil(i</ics (iO;! 

(15,000) men. and wiio had the support or syin|)alhy of the greater 
jiortion of the i)oi)ulaiion of the Country fled to France where he 
was received by Louis XIV, and provided with a hir^e allowance 
from the public treasury by ihe said Louis, and the i)alace of St. 
Germain as a residence. In 1GS9, he went to Ireland, where he 
was royally received, and he made endeavors to regain the throne, 
but the mental sui)eriority of William Prince of Orantje. with the 
tleets of Holland and England at his command, thwarted .Tames 
Second's hopes, and he returned to France, and a i)ortion of the 
Kavanaugh family went with him to France, and one of the name 
fled to Prussia. In the history of Napoleon is named a member of 
ilu> Prussian Court, Kavanaugh, who doubtless descended from the 
Irish refugee to Prastia. He seemed to have ideas and convictions 
peculiarily his own, and was a conspicuous and noted i)ersonage of 
said Court, who readily made known his position on any question, 
or his objecLion to any measure, somewhat a family characteristic 
to this day. 

Louis Eugene Cavaignac (Kavanaugh) of France, a son of Jean 
Baptiste Cavaignac, and who was prominent in the affairs of state 
in the time of Louis Phillipe, was born in Paris, Oct. l"., 1S02, the 
same year that Bishop Hubbard Hinde Kavanaugh of Kentucky 
was born. .lean Baptiste Cavaignac was one of the deputies of the 
convention during the Revolution of 1793. No man of his times 
was more distinguished than General Louis Eugene Cavaignac, \vho 
died in 1857. He was, no doubt a descendant from the Kavanaugh, 
who went with King James II, from Ireland to France. When the 
French Republic was established, he received nearly one and a half 
million votes for the Presidency. 

The family tradition is, that three brothers left Ireland together. 
One of them s'topped in England, and the other two came to America. 
General Kavanaiigh who commanded Queen Victoria's army in India, 
had a like family tradition, his paternal ancestor having settled in 
England, while two of that ancestor's brothers went to America. 
The General belonged to the same original stock (see Life and 
Times of Kavanaugh, by Redford.) 

The tw^o brothers who came to America were Charles Kavanaugh 
and Philemon Kavanaugh, who were sons of Philemon Kavanaugh, 
and it is firmlv believed that their father Philemon, also came. 
Their immgiration was about 1705. The said Charles Kavanaugh 
held the title to forty thousan dacres of land in what was then Essex 
Countv Va., the tract extended westward and above the Beverly 
line up' Muddv Run to Judge Field's mills across by Poor Town to 
Gibson's mills on Mountain Run, a portion of which he bequeathed 
to his daughter Mildred and has never been out of the Yancey family, 
and is this dav owned by Benjamin M. Yancey, a great grand-sou of 
Lewis Davis Yancev and his wife, the said Mildred Kavanaugh and 
bv their great, great grandson, James W^illiam Yancey, the latter s 
piace "Ai-rington." A.nd mion this vast estate the two brothers Charles 
and Philemon Kavanaugh settled in 1710.. This land was doubtless 
a grant from the Crown of England. Although the title was vested 
in the said Charles, his brother, Philemon had an equitable undi- 
vided moietv thereof, at least he thought he had, reasoning trom 
the wording of a clause or item in his will made m 1764, namely: 
">^y will and desire is, that one "moyaty" of that land whereon 
mv brother, Charles Kavanaugh lives, be sold by mv executors, 
and that mv said brother make lawful dred ^o the purchaser^ tor 
the same, and the other "moyaty." Remaining I give my right 
thereof to mv said brother, to him and his heirs forever. 

Conclusive evidence that the testator, Philemon, considered that 
he owned half of the land, and had a right to dispose of same. 



604 Histonj II ml (lentaJogies 

and that his brother Charles was entitled to the other half, and ihat 
he recognizFd the fa-^t that the tiitle was in his brother Charles, 
who was requested by the will to pass the title by deed to the pur- 
chaser the half testator desired to be sold. 

Orange County was cut out of Spotsylvania in 17 34, and Spotsyl- 
vania was carved out of Essex, and in 1748, Culpeper County out 
of Orange, the Kavanaugh settlement and possessions being thereby 
thrown into the County of Culpeper, which was named in honor of 
Thomas Lord Culpeper. Governor of the Colonv of Virginia, 1680- 
1683. 

Not being sufficiently advised, the statement is not made positive 
that Philemon Kavanaugh, senior, the father of the two brothers, 
Charles and Philemon came to America, but the belief that he did 
is ba^ed urcr. the facts disclosed bv the Court Records of Culpeper 
County, extracts from which are hereinafter presented from said 
records it appears that said Charles Kavanaugh, for years prior to 
1750, was executor of the estate of Philemon Kavanaugh, deceased, 
(his father) and the will was most probably probated in the Court 
of one of the other Counties named, as formed prior to the forma- 
tion of the County of Culpeper. An examination of the records of 
the Courts of those several Counties would doubtless reveal the 
truth of the mattter. Would Philemon Kavanaugh, senior, have 
lived and died testate in Ireland, or some foreign land in his day 
and time, when there were no railroads, no telegraphic and tele- 
phonic communications, and when it took a month to cross the ocean, 
and appointed a son residing in far away America, executor of his 
estate? One would think not. He certainly was a resident of 
America at the time of his demise, and perhaps, it was by the terms 
of his will that the title to that large landed estate was vested iu 
his eldest son Charles. 

For some reason or other, said Charles Kavanaugh did not hold 
the position of executor, to the end, but prior to 1750, was sup- 
planted as such, by the appointment by the Court, of Thomas 
Slaughter and W. Green as administrators de-bonis non, of Philemon 
Kavanaugh, senior, in his room and stead, which office they held 
for a time, and in 17 50, they made a settlement before commissioners 
of the Court of their accounts, and were succeeded by James Pendle- 
ton, who in 1759, made a settlement before commissioners, Robert 
Green and Gabriel Jones of his accounts. 

It seems that it was many years from the death of Philemon 
Kavanaugh, senior, before his estate was finally settled. Said 
Charles Kavanaugh had a wife, but who she was is in the dark, and 
he raised if not more, one child, a daughter: 

1. Mildred Kavanaugh, who became the wife of Lewis Davis 
Yancey. Mr. Yancey about the year 1710, settled in the part of 
the Country that in 17 49 helped form the County of Culpeper, 
and they had a daughter: 

1. Elizabeth Yancey, to whom Philemon Kavanaugh, senior, 
gave one hundred acres of land on Muddy Run. 

In 16 42 five Welchmen, John Yancey, Charles Yancey, William 
Yancey, Joel Yancey and Robert Yancey, came to Virginia, with Sir 
William Berkely, afterwards Governor, and settled in the James 
River country. From one of these four last named emigrants 
(Yancey) from Wales, sprang Lewis Davis Yancey, who settled as 
aforesaid in Culpeper County, Va., about 1710, or rather in wha*^ 
was subsequently Culjieper County. He married Mildred Kavanaugh, 
daughter of Charles Kavanaugh, of Irish parentage. Mr. Yancey 
died and was buried on the estate, the portion now owned by his 
Ereat grand-son James William Yancey, known as "Arlington." The 
children of the emigrant John Yancey were:

Signed, sealed and published in the presence of: 
Charles Kavanaugh. 
Charles Yancey. 
Ann Kavanaugh. 

At a Court held for the County of Culpeper on Friday the 16th 
dav of March 17 64, this last will and testament of Philemon Kava- 
naugh, deceased, was exhibited to the Court, by Ann Kavanaugh 
and William Williams the executors therein named and was proved 
bv the oaths of Charles Yancey, and Charles Kavanaugh, witnesses 
thereto, and ordered to be recorded. And on the motion of the said 
executors, certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate thereof, 
in due form, they having sworn to the same and given bond and 
security according to law. 

Teste: ROGER DIXON, Clerk. 

A copy Teste, W. E. Coons, Clerk." 

At the time the will was drawn, the testator's brother Charles 
Kavanaugh, was living on the land named in the wLi, one moiety of 
which testator directed to be sold, and for his brother to make deed 
to the purchaser, and his right to the other moiety to go to his said 
brother, and be was evidently one of the witnesses to the will. 

In 1764, the inventory of the personal estate of the testator 
Philemon Kavanaugh. was returned to the Court amount lOSL, 15 S. 

The said Philemon Kavanaugh, who died in 17 64, married Ann 
Williams, a Welch woman, she qualified as an executrix of his will. 
In 17.56, eight years prior to the death of said Philemon Kavanaugh, 
Ann Kavanaugh gave by deed to her daughter Sarah Kavanaugh, 
then only fourteen vears old, a negro girl named Venus, at that time 
only eight years old. So far as learned the children of Philemon 
Kavanaugh were: 

Section 1. Charles Kavanaugh; married Ann ihe> 

emigrated and settled in Madison County, Ky., a more complete ac- 
count of whom is given in Chapter 3. 
(39) 



610 Histortf and G( itcaJof/ies 

Section 2. Benjamin Kavanaugh, to whom his father devised 
the old home place, after the death or marriage of his widow. 

Section 3. Williams Kavanaugh; married Mary Harrison. They 
also emigrated and settled on the waters of Muddy Creek in Mad- 
ison County, Ky., a more complete history of whom, is given in 
Chapter 17. 

Section 4. Philemon Kavanaugh, for whom James Pendleton 
was guardian. 

iSection 5. Anna Kavanaugh. James Pendleton of Culpeper 
County, Va., was also, her guardian, perhaps she married Adam 
Woods. (See Part II, Chap. 7, Sec. 5.) 

Section 6. Mary Kavanaugh. The said James Pendleton was 
her guardian too. 

Section 7. Miss Kavanaugh, a daughter, whose given name was 
probably Frances, married Mr. Covington, whose given name was 
perhaps William, of whom more will be found in Chapter 18. 

Section 8. Sarah Kavanaugh, for whom the said James Pendle- 
ton was guardian a number of years, and afterwards, until her 
maturity her father Philemon Kavanaugh, was appointed, qualified 
•and acted as her statutory guardian. She was born in 1742, and her 
guardian made his final settlement in 17 6 3. 

Prior to 1752, the said Sarah, her brother, Philemon and her 
sisters Anna and Mary, were minors, the said Sarah the youngest, 
just ten years old, had received legacies from the estate of their 
grand father Philemon Kavanaugh, deceased, through the executor, 
their uncle Charles Kavanaugh, and James Pendleton of Culpeper 
County was appointed their guardian and in 1752, filed his account 
as such amount 66 L 4 S. He made a settlement of his accounts in 
1753, the assets consisting of negroes, and other personal property. 
The same year, another settlement amount 37 L 15 S 10% d, and 
in 1754 amount 76 L 12 S 11 d, and between 1754 and 1758, it 
seems that the wards, excepting Sarah, had arrived at the age of 
maturity, and her father had been appointed and qualified as her 
guardian in place of Mr. Pendleton, and in 1758, he showed in his 
account as guardian, that he then had the negro girl Venus, _ at 
that time ten years old, belonging to his ward, the said Sarah, which 
girl was given her by her mother Ann Kavanaugh in 1756. In 1759, 
said guardian showed to the Court, that he had the same girl 11 years 
old, and in 1761, 13 years old, and in 1762, the guardian charged 
one years board, £3 and clothing £3, and credited by hire of the said 
girl, 11 years old £3, and in 1763, made his final settlement showing 
that the negro girl was then 15 years old, his ward being then 
twentv-one years old. Although further on in this work it appears 
that Charles Duncan married Sarah Browning — it is however, prob- 
able that he was twice married, it is evident that the subject Sarah 
Kavanaugh married Charles Duncan the year she arrived at the 
age of 21 years (1763), and many years thereafter (about 1784), 
moved to and settled in Madison County Ky., on the waters of 
Muddy Creek where she died in 1824, and was buried in the Duncan 
Grave Yard, on the farm now owned by our County Clerk, Jesse T. 
Cobb. The inscription on the tomb: "Sarah Duncan, born 174 2, 
died in 1824, in the 82nd year of her age." Showing that she was 
21 years old in 17 63, the year of the final settlement of her guard- 
ian, and the County Court records show that Robert Covington was 
her son-in-law.

CHAPTKi; I. 
PHILEMON KAVANAUGH. 

(Named in Chapter ?,, Sod ion 1.) 

Artich' 1. — Philoiiion Kavaiiaii4>Ii, lln' elder son of (^liarlcs Kavan- 
augli, Senior and Ann his wife, was married In Virginia to Eliz- 
ahetli Woods. 

They came to Madison County, Ky., prior to T7.S7, at least on 
the 25th day of Sept. 1787, appears an order of the Madison County 
Court (A p 62) granting to Archibald Woods and Thomas Shelton, 
(borthers-in-law and the latter having married Elizabeth the widow"; 
letters of administration on the estate of Philemon Kavanaugh, 
deceased, and John Miller, Hale Talbott, James French and Stejihen 
Hancock were appointed appraisers, and on the same date Archibald 
Woods, and Thomas Shelton were appointed guardians to William 
(Woods) Kavanaugh, and Ann Kavanaugh, orphans of Philemon- 
Kavanaugh, deceased. 

Let it be noted here that Philemon Kavanaugh married Elizabeth 
Woods, a sister to the said Archiliald Woods, and Archibajjl Woods 
had married a sister to the said Thomas Shelton, and after Philemon 
Kavanaugh's death, the said Thomas Shelton married Philemon 
Kavanaugh's widow, the said Elizabeth. (See Fart H, Chap. 
7, Section 12.) Philemon Kavanaugh died at leasr nine or more 
years prior to the date of the death of his father. His children 
are set forth in the coming sections: 

Section 1. William Woods Kavanaugh. The sub.1ect of Chap- 
ter 5. 

Section 2. Ann Kavanaugh. The subjejct of Chapter 6. 

Article 2 — As beforesaid, after the death of Philemon Kavanaugh, 
his widow Elizabeth Woods Kavanaugh, married Thomas Shelton who 
was a pioneer Baptist preacher, and a brother to Mourning Shelton, 
the wife of Archibald Woods. (See Part H, Chap. 6, Sec. 12), and 
children of William Shelton and Lucy Harris his wife. (See Part 
HI. Chapter 3, Section 6.) The children of Thomas Shelton and 
Elizabeth W^oods Kavanaugh his wife: 

Section 1. Susan Shelton; married Thomas Reid, July 29, 1S06. 
(See Fart II, Chapiter 21, Section 1.) 

Section 2. Bet.sy Shelton; married Richard Moberley March 3, 
1802. They came from Albemarle County, Va., and married in 
Madison County, Ky., where they settled and made their home on 
Muddy Creek, near the present village of Elliston, and where they 
lived and died 

Note; Rev. Edgar Woods in his history of Albemarle mentions 
the names of the children of William Shelton, whose first wife was 
Lucv Harris, as follows, towit; "William Harris Shelton, Mourning, 
the wife of Archibald W' oods, Elizabeth the wife of Richard Moberley, 
Dabnev Shelton, Sarah Shelton, Lucy Shelton, the wife of Elliot 
Brown, Agnes Shelton, Weatherston Shelton and Thomas Shelton." 
and further states that "the first three migrated to Kentucky." If 
Rev. Edgar Woods is correct, in his statement then Elizabeth or 
Betsy, the wife of Richard Moberley, was not a daughter of Thomas 
Shelton. Attention is called to the fact, confirmed by the Court 
records that the marriage of Betsy Shelton and Richard Moberley 
took place in Madison County, Ky., March 3, 1802, and not in 



61 n History and Genealogies 

Albemarle, and also, to the fact that their only son, was named 
Thomas Shelton Moberley. It does seem from all the circum- 
stantial evidence and published statements heretofore made, that 
she was a daughter of Thomas Shelton. Archibald Woods married 
Mourning Shelton in 17 73, a daughter of William Shelton and Lucy 
Harris, twenty nine years prior to the marriage of the said Betsy 
and Richard Moberley.

CHAPTEK 12. 
NICHOLAS KAVANAUGH. 

(Named in Chapter S, Section 8.) 

Article 1. — Nichdlas Kavanaugh, a son of William Kavaiiaug;h and 
Hannah Wo«k1s his wife, was born in Madison County, Ky. 

On the 12th day of Jan. 1817, he married Jane Wallace, a

634 Historif and Genealogies 

of her deceased father, Michael Wallace, lying in or adjacent to the 
town of Richmond, Ky. Their ho^me was in Lone Jack, Jacl<;son 
County, Mo. When his father died in 1829, Nicholas Kavanaugh, 
was dead, but how long he had been dead, no evidence is at hand, 
he left a son, and a daughter, v/ho were made special bequests by 
their grand-father William Kavanaugh, in his will, but he failed to 
set forth in the will the names of these two grand-children. The 
name of the son was probably: 

Section 1. Malcolm Kavanaugh. 

The son mentioned in William Kavanaugh's will, supposed. 

Section 2. Miss Kavanaugh, a daughter mentioned in 

Wililam Kavanaugh's will. 

The Hannah Kavanaug^h who married Benancy Cox, March 9, 
183 3, was probably the daughter of Nicholas Kavanaugh. 

We have been unable to gather any data concerning these two 
children of Nicholas Kavanaugh and Jane Wallace his wife. 



CHAPTER 13. 
CHARLES KAVANAUGH, Jr. 

f Named in Chapter 3, Section 4.) 

Article 1. — Chai'les Kavanaugh, Jr., a son of Cliares Kavanaugh Sr., 
and Ann his wife, was born in Ciilpeper County, Va. 

As early as or prior to 17 87, being then a grown man, he came 
from the place of his birth to Madison County, Ky. In the first 
Order Book (A) of the Madison County Court, at the date Feb. 27, 
178 7, appears this entry: 

"On motion of Charles Kavanaugh, Jr., it is ordered that his 
ear mark towit: A crop in the right, and a hole in the left ear, be 
recorded." October 6, 1789, he "produced his commission and 
qualified as Captain of militia. Oct. 2, 1792, he was authorized to 
celebrate the rites of matrimony being in regular communion with 
the Methodist Church. His wife was named Frances, for he joined 
as one of the grantors in the deeds to the Yanceys of Culpeper 
County, Va., as one of the legatees of his father's will in 1797, in 
which deeds his wife's name appears to be Prances, and other deeds 
show that her name was Frances, and he evidently married before 
immigrating to Kentucky. 

Jt seems from Court records, that this Charles Kavanaugh, Jr., 
his uncle Williams Kavanaugh, and his cousin Charles Kavanaugh, 
a son of said Williams went from Madison County, Ky., to Tennessee, 
prior to 1804, for it is found of record that the two latter acknowl- 
edged deeds as early as 1804, in Smith County, Tenn., to lands in 
Madison County, Ky. If he had any children, they are unknown 
to the writer at tbis time. Charles Kavanaugh, Jr., and Frances 
his wife were residents of Rutherford County, Tenn., Sept. 15, 1815. 
See deed to James McMullin (L page 18).

came to ^Madison County, Ivy. 

She married Peter Woods, a son of William Woods and Susan- 
nah Wallace his wife. (See Part II, Chap. 6, Sec. 3, and Part IV, 
Chaptr 2, Section 2.) Peter Woods was a noted pioneer Baptist 
preacher. They remained some time in Madison County, Ky., where 
he did much preaching of the gospel, and solemnized very many 
marital rites. He moved to Tennessee, thence to Boone County, 
Mo., and they spent their remaining days in Missouri. He died in 
Cooper County in 1825. 

It is said that he raised a large family, but at this time the 
writer is unable to give the names of his children. His wife Jael, 
was a egatee of her father's will and she and her husband in 1797, 
joined in the deeds to the Yancey's of Culpeper County, Va. 



CHAPTER 15. 

SARAH ANN KAVANAUGH. 
Named in Chapter 3, Section 6.) 

Article 1. — Sarah Ann Kavanaufth, a dangliter of Charles Kavanaugh 

Sr., and Ann his wife, came from Culpeper County, Va., 

to Kentucky with her parents and her husband, James Milli^ 
Moore, who she marrie<l in Virginia. 

They setted finally on the Kentucky River, near the line between 
Estill and Madison on land given them by Mr. Kavanaugh. Sarah 
Ann Kavanaugh and her husband James Mills Moore, and two child- 
ren which they had at the time her father prepared his will in 179 5, 
Charles Kavanaugh Moore and Elizabeth Moore were legatees of 
his will. They owned at one time lands on Otter Creek, which 
they sold in i797 and 1798. They had at least three children 
named in the coming sections: 

Section 1. Charles Kavanaugh Moore, a legatee of his grand- 
father's will, descendants of whom are now on the Kentucky River 
and scattered over Madison and Estill Counties. 

Section 2. Elizabeth Moore, a legatee of her grand-father's 
will, and who it appears married a man named Guthrie and went 
to Green County, Ky., for on Aug. 6, 1799, her father James Moore 
conveyed to her, as Elizabeth Guthrie and her sister Lyddia Moore 
82 acres of land in said Countv, and one negro boy, Nase. (D page 
637.) 

Section 3. Lyddia Moore, born after the date of her grand- 
father's will. At least her name was not mentioned in the will, 
she evidently went to Green County, Ky., with her sister Elizabeth 
Guthrie.

CHAPTER 17. 

WILLIAMS KAVANAUGH, Sr. 
(Named in Chapter 2, Section 3.) 

Article 1. — Williams Kavanangh, Sr., a son of Philemon Kavanaugh, 
immigrant from Ireland and Ann Williams his wife, immigrated 
from Wales, according to the history entitled "Life and Times 
of Kavanaugh." 

. . Bishop Hubbard Hinde Kavanaugh, was born in Virginia, and 
came to Kentucky in 1775. He settled in Madison County, on the 
waters of Muddy Creek, a little south of what is now the village of 



History and Genealogies C)'.Vi 

Waco, where George H. Duncan who has Kavanaugh blood in his 
veins noAv lives. He was born in 1744, old style. His wife was born 
Feb. 1, 1744, and was Mary Harrison, daughter of Mr. Harrison an 
immigrant from England to N(>w England, and who moved and 
settled in Virginia, and Miss Johnson his wife, Mr. Harrison and two 
brothers who came with him to Virginia each lived to be very old. 

In the Madison County Deed Book D, page 71, a deed dated 
August 2, 179 6, from Williams Kavanaugh and Mary his wife to 
Charles Kavanaugh, to 88 acres of land on Muddy Creek is recorded, 
and in the same book page 141, a deed from the same grantors to 
Jesse Morrice to 50 acres of land on Muddy Creek, being part, of 
the tract on which the grantors then lived. On Jan. 13, 1802, 
Williams Kavanaugh and Mary his wife had moved to Tennessee, 
and were residents of Smith County, in said State. See deed to Josh- 
ua Townsend, E. page 398. 

The above subject was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, but from Bishop Kavanaugh's account left that society and 
joined another society, and as the Bishop has given a lucid account 
of him, it is unnecessary here to attempt to say more, except to name 
such of his children as we are able: (See Chap. 1, Item 5.) Among 
his children were: 

Section 1. Rev. Charles Kavanaugh came from Culpeper 

County Va., to what was afterwards Madison County, Ky., and on 
March 5, 1795, was authorized by the County Court to solemnize the 
rites of marriage, and his uncle Charles and cousin Charles Jr., had 
been granted similar licenses. He was in Smith County, Tennessee, 
;\Iay 30, 1804, (see deed to Joseph Proctor, E page 725,) and 
Williams Kavanaugh, Sr., resided at that time in the same Couny. 
In making the deed aforesaid it does not appear that this Charles 
Kavanaugh, had any wife. 

Section 2. Williams Kavanaugh, Jr., as shown by the Bishop's 
history, was born near the dividing line between Virginia and Tenn- 
essee, August 3, 1775, whilst his parents were moving to the District 
of Kntucky from Virginia. On March 29, 1798, he was married 
to Hannah Hubbard Hinde, daughter of Dr. Thomas Hinde, and 
Mary T. Hubbard his wife. Mary T. Hubbard, was a daughter of 
Benjamin Hubbard, an English merchant. 

'Mrs. Kavanaugh died at the residence of her son-in-law John 
Stevens in ^ladison County, Ky., June 11, 1852, her husband, the 
Reverend Williams Kavanaugh, Jr., having died Oct. 16, 1806. In 
1799, Thomas Hinde deeded to him 138 acres of land in Clark 
County, Ky. (See Deed Book No., 4, page 350.) Their children: 

1. Thomas Williams Kavanaugh, was born in Clark County, 
Ky., Jan. 5, 1799. He entered the United States Army, and was 
commissioned first Lrieutenant. He died May 29, 1823, unmarried. 

2. Leroy Harrison Kavanaugh, was born May 29, 1800. He 
married Rachael Martin, and died at Mt. Carmel, 111., in Nov. 
1864. He was deeply pious, and remarkably zealous. He re- 
moved to Mt. Carmel, 111., where he exerted a wide influence. 
The community — all his friends — erected a handsome monument 
to his memory. 

Will K. Kavanaugh, of St. Louis, Mo., a very prominent man in 
the affairs of the city, and quite wealthy, is a grand-son of Rev. 
Leroy Harrison Kavanaugh. 

3. Hubbard Hinde Kavanaugh. "Old man Eloquent," was born 
Jan. 14. 1802. He was twice married, first to Margaret C. Green,

Bishops of his day and generation. He died at the parsonage of

MISS — — • KAVANAUGH. 

(Named in Chapter 2, Section 7.) 

Atiele 1. — jMiss Kavanaugh, a (laughter of Philemon Kavanaugh 

and Ann Willanis his wife, married Mr. Covington, and they 
were the parents of a numher of children born in Culpepei* 
County, Va., several years prior to the Revolutionary War, 
of wliom Robert Covington, who married Mary Duncan, as 
hereinafter stated, was one. 

One Thomas Covington, died in Culpeper County, leaving a will 
bearing date December 5, 1756, probated Jan. 15, 1767. He lived 
on, and owned property in the town of Culpeper, and had a wife, 
Jael, and daughters and sons. 

(November 19, 17 64, the Court appropriated to Thomas Coving- 
ton in full satisfaction for repairing the church, vestry-house, deal- 
post and six trenches, 700 lbs., of tobacco, besides 3500 lbs., already 

received. ) 

1. Ann Covington; married John Faver, son of John Faver, 
(who died about 1783) and Isabella his wife. 

2. Sarah Covington; married Mr. Tutt. 
His sons were perhaps: 

3_ ]vir. Covington; married Lucy Strother.

One William Covington, died in Culpeper County, in 1783-4, 
leaving a number of children, just below named, among them a 
son, Robert, and about 1797, one Frances Covington (no doubt his

in 1783-4: 

1. Eleanor Covington; married Robert Hensley. 

2. Guzzel Covington; married Cooper. 

3. Elizabeth Covington. 

4. Robert Covington. 

It is more than probable that the given name of the Miss Kav- 



History and Genealogies G41 

anaugh, at the head of this chapter was Frances and that her hus- 
band was William and that the Robert Covington, below named, who 
married Mary Duncan was their son, the same as the Robert Cov- 
ington, folowing tlie figure 4 above. 

The mother of (he Robert Covington who married Mary Duncan, 
is known to have been a Miss Kavanaugh of Culpeper County, Va., 
and Doctor Slaughter's notes on Culpeper give the name of only 
one Robert Covington, towit: Robert, a son of the William Cov- 
ington, wlio died in 17S3-4, as above sliown. 

1. Robert Covington, evidently a son of William Covington and 
Miss ? Frances Kavanaugh his wfe; married Mary Duncan, a 
daughter of Charles Duncan and Sarah Browning (or Sarah 
Kavanaugh) his wife. 

Robert Covington was born in Culpper County, Va., Jan. 3, 
1760, and died in ^Madison County, Ky., Aug. 10, 1847, and his 
said wife was born in Culpeper Nov. 10, 1764, and died in 
Madison County, Ky., March 8, 1841, and their remains were 
buried in the Duncan Grave Yard, on Muddy Creek, the farm 
now owned by Jesse T. Cobb. Their marriage occurred in Cul- 
peper County in 1782. 

The records of the Madison County Court show that Robert 
Covington was a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, and held a 
pension sertificate which is there recorded, and that he drew a 
pension for said service. After the war they moved from Cul- 
peper County, Va., and settled on Muddy Creek, about two miles 
south of wliat is now the village of Elliston, in Madison County, 
Kentucky in 1792, where he acquired land and owned lands, and 
where they both died at the dates aforesaid. Their children were:

John Browning, born in England in 159 4, came to Vriginia In 
1622, in the ship "Abigail," and served in the house of Burgessees 
in 1629. 

William Browning, came to Virginia in 1623, in ship "Bona Nova." 
(See Hatter's list of American emigrants.) 

It is supposed that the Virginia Brownings descended from one 
or both of the above named, but the line of descent cannot be direct- 
ly traced. 

The Brownings appeared in Virginia soon after the settlement of 
the Colony. 

Francis B)rowning settled near Gain's Cross Roads, now Rappa- 
hannock, in 173 5. He came probably from Caroline County, about 
that time. One Thomas Browning came to Culpeper, but returned 
to Caroline.

History, by the late William Q. Covington, of 



Excerpt from Hi 
Madison County, Ky: 



"Robert Covington, was born in Culpeper County, Va., July 3, 
1760. His mother was a Kavanaugh, related to Bishop Kavanaugh, 
recentlv deceased. He married Mary Duncan in Culpeper County, 
Va., who was born November 10, 1764. They came to Madison 
County, and settled near Richmond, where they remained but a short 
time, then bought and moved to what is known as "the old Robert 
Covington farm," three miles south of Waco, part of which was then 
heavy cane brake, and there were Indians in the County. On that 
farm they spent most of their lives. 

Robert Covington was in the war of the Revolution. The old 
Church Register of Viney Fork show^s that Robert Covington and 
Marv Covington his wife, joined the United Baptist Church at 
Viney Fork "^second Saturday in September 1798, and Robert Cov- 
ington was dismissed by letter second Saturday in December 1826. 
He then took membership at Bethel on the Big Hill pike, Mary his 
wife, was dismissed by letter June 2nd, Saturday 1828. Robert Cov- 
ington died August 10, 1847, aged 87 years, 7 months and 7 days. 
Mary his wife, died March 8, 18 41, aged 76 years, 3 months and 28 
days. They were buried on the William Duncan old farm 1% miles 
south of Elliston (now owned by Jesse T. Cobb,) tomb rocks to 
memory. 

The Moberley Family.

Moberley and Edward Moberley, came from South Carolina and 
settled in Madison County, Ky. 

John iMoberley, the oldest, built the old stone house one mile 
east of Speedwell; he married Miss Jenkins, raised twelve children 
and lived to see all of them married. He and his wife were buried

"True merit and honest worth are recognized in our country, 
without much regard to ones blood, notwithstanding it has been said 
"blood wall tell." Many of noble parentage have fallen into disre- 



History and Genealogies 651 

pute, while others of ignoble birth have risen to eminence and dis- 
tinction. It is on this account, perhaps, the people of the United 
States have neglected to keep record of their lineage, or ancestry, 
more than two or three generations, hence few are able to tell who 
their great grand-parents were, or more than that at most. 
But on entering into conversation with the old, who we find knew 
something of our forefathers, we find ourselves much interested, 
and sometimes feel humiliated that we know so little of our ances- 
try. For this reason I have made an effort to gather some infor- 
mation concerning the ancestry of my father and mother, and their 
descendants. Many family and other records have been over hauled, 
and yet, the information is very limited and imperfect: but I 
present what I have been able to gather, in the hope that it may 
prove of some interest to the present and more to the rising gen- 
erations. ** If this information herein given appears partial in 
some instances, I have only to say, I have given such facts as I 
could get." «

CHAPTEK 2. 
THE BROWN FAMILY. 

Article 1. — The Brown family herein are of English origin, Anglo- 
Saxon. The original head of the American branch, Benjamin 
Brown, in the early i)art of the eighteenth centnry came from 
Wales, and settled temporarily in Hanover County, Va., subse- 
quently he mov<>d to Albemarle County, Vu., and settled in 
Brown's Cove, the place where he made his pennanent home, 
called AValnut Level or Trinidad, which is now owned by his 
descendants, the Auburn family. 

Rev. Edgar Woods in his history of Albemarle states "that the 
Browns of Brown's Cove, were a Hanover family. Its head Benja- 
min and his oldest son Benjamin, patented a large area of land in 
Louisa County, both before and after its establishment in 17 42. They 
began to obtain grants in Albemarle, also, soon after its formation. 
From 1747 to 1760, they entered more than six thousand acres on 
both sides of Dovles River. ** Benjamin died in 17 62, leaving eleven 
children: Benjamin,, William, Agnes, Barzellia, Benajah, Bernard, 
Bernis, Bezaeel, Brightberry, Elizabeth, the wife of John Price and 
Lucretia, the wife of Robert Harris. 

Benjamin Brown was a clergyman in the Revolutionary Army, a 
member of Light Horse Harry Lee's troop. Two of his brothers, 
Brightberry and Bezalul Brown, were captains in the same service, 
and another brother Bernard Brown was also, a soldier of that 
army, whose principal duty was to carry dispatches for General Wash- 
ington from New York to Charleston, South Carolina, and was 
chosen for that service because of his wonderful powers of endurance 
and his trust worthiness, and of whom (it is told) General Washing- 
ton said, "he could make his trips quicker than any other man, in 
the service he had tried." 

The Brown family ranks among the first families of Virginia and 
have ever held that position since Virginia has been their home. 
From their early settlement, their prominent part in public affairs, 
the high character generally prevalent among them, and the lasting 
impress they have made on the natural scenery of the country is one 
of the most noted in its history- (Rev. Edgar Woods.) 

Benjamin Brown, died at his home, Trinidad in Brown's Cove, 
in 17 62. His first wife was a Miss Hescott, a Welch lady, no children 
were born of this union. He married the second time Miss Sarah 
Thompson, born in 172 4, she died in 1815, at the age of ninety one 
years. Their children were:

worthiness, and extraordinary powers of endurance, of whom his 
General said "that he could make the trip quicker than any other 
person in the service of whom he had knowledge." He was a prac- 
ticing attorney at law of Albemarle County, and represented clients 
in Kentucky, as proof of this latter statement on the fourth of 
December 1801, Daniel Maupin, Sr., a resident at that time of 
Madison County, Ky., by deed of record gave to his son John Maupin,

3. Robert Clifton Rodes; died single. 

4. Charles Thoniijson Smith, an old bachelor, a very lively, 
active i)ro|)osilion. in that class of social outlaws, now sixty nine 
years old, and living at Harlan, Ky. Charles Thompson Smith was 
twenty-three years old when he volunteered in the First 
Greenbriar Cavalry Comi)any under Captain Robert B. Moorman, 
in the spring of 1S61, being a slender youth, run down from 
close study, in health and flesh, and weighing only one hundred 
and twenty pounds, and was found, in consequence, unfit for 
infantry service, and was furloughed to go home to arrange his 
business affairs, and to get horse and other equipments. 

Rejoining the army he was one of a portion of his com- 
pany sent hastily to Rich Mountain to aid in the relief of Colonel 
Fegram, then engaged with the Federal or United States Military 
forces, but before reaching their destination the Confederates 
had been defeated. On the excursion when his horse was jump- 
ing a fence. Smith was thrown violently out of the saddle, receiv- 
ing a twisting violent wrench of the left loin, severely straining 
it and displacing a muscle of the back; an injury from which he 
has never thoroughly recovered. Upon examination by Dr. W. 
L. Barksdale, of Hinton, West Virginia, at that time Surgeon of 
the company, the hurt was pronounced a permanent one, and h^ .&. 
was furloughed indefinitely, and advised to remain as quiet as >^._^ 
possible. In the early fall of 1861, young Smith started bacli ' i>V 
to the army, but before reaching it, General Robert E. Lee had 
disbanded the company, giving as his reason, that "It contained 
too much valuable recruiting material to be kept in the service 
as a company." This wise step resulted in the raising of several 
cavalry and other companies from Greenbriar County for the 
Confederate Army. 

First Lieutenant, F. W. M. Feamster, gave testimony of the 
faithful picket duty, rendered by this young soldier, at Laurel 
Hill. He says "I was ordered to select reliable men, and during 
the night I visited the pickets every four hours, I always found 
Smith at his post, which was regarded as a very critical and dan- 
gerous position." 

After the injury spoken of Charles Thompson Smith re-entered 
the Confederate service, as emjiloyee of Captain J. C. Deane, 
Quarter Master of the 59th Regiment of Virginia Infantry. In 
1862 at Nags Head, he was promoted by General Wise to the rank 
of Captain, on his staff, and in charge as acting Quarter Master 
of the Regiment. During the land battle at Roanoke Island, 
notwithstanding he was a non-combatant, he took the rifle gun 
of private John Hanna, who was ill, and founght under Captain 
F. M. Imboden, in the thickest of the fight, reloading and shooting 
so often that the gun got so hot (thus contracting the bore) that 
it could not be recharged. After the surrender General Reno, U. 
S. A., remarked that " Smith was the first Quarter Master he ever 
saw in a fight." At this critical point in the battle Adjutant 
Blocker, owing to the effect of heavy canonading, became too sick 
for duty, and Lieutenant Frank Anderson of said Regiment order- 
ed Smith to act as Adjutant in Lieutenant Blocker's place until 
the battle ended. For six hours the battle raged and in sjiite of 
the fearless display of gallantrv bv the officers, and personal

bravery of the private soldiers, it ended in Confederate defeat, 
because of the overwhelming numbers against them. During this 
engagement Smith was struck by a spent ball which did no damage 
and in no other of five fights and skirmishes in which he en- 
gaged, did he receive a gun shot wound during the war. 

Being paroled as a prisoner of war, Charles Thompson Smith 
engaged in the 'manufacture of salt at Saltville, Va., from 18 62 
until 18 65. Released from parole in the fall of 18 63, he rendered 
valuable service to the Confederates as a soldier in protecting this 
most important salt furnishing point to the Confederacy, and to 
the people of the state. On one most dangerous mission riding 
thirty miles in the night in extremely cold and stormy weather, 
and through the enemy's lines as courier to take a special message 
from General Breckinridge for reenforcements to save the salt 
works from capture. He was shot at many times and barely es- 
caped death and capture by General Stoneman's forces. In res- 
ponse to that message, the same night, with Smith as guide, 
General Bazil W. Duke was sent to the rescue, in command of a 
selected cavalry force, which stampeded the enemy back into 
Kentucky, thus saving the great salt works from destruction. 

After the war with depleted health and fortune, but with true 
Southern courage. Smith applied himself to the affairs of civil 
life. His fidelity, business aptitude and tact were displayed to 
the public, first in the office of sheriff, which he twice held under 
bond of $90,000. His legislative talent and qualifications were 
manifested during one term in the House of Delegates and three 
terms in the Senate successively, in which service he signally 
demonstrated his natural ability and enviable sagacity in recog- 
nizing and grasping the new and living issues of the times, which 
required the exercise of fine statesmanship, to shape them into 
laws. The Legislative .Journals and statutes of Virginia show that 
his name as a skillful legislator and valuable public servant is 
united indelibly with the history of the commonwealth as the 
author of more legislation perhaps since the war, than any other 
faithful legislator, and mainly of legislation which affects and 
protects all classes and vocations, of men and women. His Post 
Office address at this time is Harlan, Ky. 

5. Prances Rodes Smith; died single, aged thirty five years. 

6. .John Massie Smith, born August 29. 1843; married May 21, 
1867, Nellie Timberlake. 

The three brothers, Charles Thompson Smith, Francis Rodes 
Smith and .John Massie Smith, went out of college into the Confed- 
erate Army. Hence their educations were not completed as far as 
was intended, the Civil War having practically ruined them finan- 
cially. But John as he is called in the family is what the people 
of his native and adopted counties esteem as a leading citizen, 
intelligent gentleman, and consistent member of the Baptist Church. 

John Massie Smith was only in the seventeenth year of his age 
when he entered the Confederate Army. This brave young patriot 
was on repeated occasions selected by his Colonel and other officers 
to perform daring and desperate duties, and therefore was recom- 
mended for promotion, but he modestly declined, mainly because 
of his vouthful age, saying that he was "satisfied with the honor of 
being a private in the ranks of his company," and as such surren- 
dered, having fought in thirty battles. He is at this time a leading 
citizen of Albemarle Countv, Va. He is well beloved for his many 
fine traits of character. He lives at Shadwell, three miles east of 
Charlottesville, in Albemarle County, on the Chesapeake and Ohio 
Railway. He is verv found of his kin. His wife died many years

"The CraAvfoi'd Family of Virg:iiiia." 

From the Times despatch, Genological column: 

"Arthur in his dictionary of names speaks of the name of Craw- 
ford as assumed by the proprietor of the land and barony of Craw- 
ford in Lenarkshire, Scotland. The extreme ancestor of the ancient 
family of Crawford, in Scotland, was Reginald, youngest son of 
Ataw, the fourth earl of Richmond. He accompanied David, the first 
to the North and received extensive grants of land in Strath Clueys 
at Clydesdale, where his immediate descendants adopted the name of 
Crawford. The name itself was first spelled "Craufurd," being 
Gaellic, signifying "the pass of blood" from "Cru," bloody, and 
"furd" a pass, or way, as commemorative, probably of some great 
conflict with the aboriginees. 

John Crawford of Scotland, born about 1600, died about ]676, 
emigrated to Virginia about 1643. He was a lineal discendant from 
Quintin Craufurd, of Kilburney, on the West Sea of Scotland. 

David Crawford, the only son of John, was born 1625, and came 
to America with his father, settling in St. Peter's (afterwards St. 
Paul's) parish in New Kent. John Crawford the emigrant, was 
the youngest son of Earl Crawford of Scotland, about the middle of 
the seventeenth century. He settled first in James City County, 
afterwards moving to New Kent, and later being in Hanover Couny, 
when that was formed. The wife of David Crawford (1) is not 
known. Their children were: 1st. Eliabeth, born 1650, married

Captain David Crawford, son of David (1) grand-son of John

over County. In 17 58, some two or ihree years after his son David 
(III) had moved to Amherst, he moved and settled on Rockfish 
river on the south side near the road, passing over "Duke's Gap," 
and near the foot of "Round Top" Mountain, about one mile north 
of "Stony Battle," being a remarkable part of the road, where vast 
walls of rock are rolled up each side of the road like giant walls. 

As Captain of a troop of cavalry in 1714 he proclaimed George 
(1) King. 

Captain David Crawford was buried in the forks of Stony Battle 
road, about one hundred yards west of the spring in Nelson County, 
east of the "Three Ridge" Mountain at the base, being one mile west

family Rible, William Crawford, was the son of Nathan Ci-awford, 
who was the son of David Crawford, who was the son of .John Craw- 
ford a Scotchman, who came to this County in the seventeenth 
century, and is suijposed to have been killed during Bacon's war with 
the Indians. Rev. AVilliam Crawford was the grand father, and 
his son Hon. Tiol)ert Leighton Crawford, the father of Mrs. F. A. 
Crawford Vanderbilt, second wife of Commodore Cornelius Vander- 
bilt. 

The Hon. William Harris Crawford, only child of Hon. Joel 
Crawford and his wife Fannie Harris Crawford (see Part 
TIT. Chapter 3, Section 11), was born in Nelson County, 
Va., Feb. 24, 1772, and was taken to South Carolina in 1774. 
In 1783 the family again removed to Columbia County, Ga., where 
his father died five years later. He was elected to the State Senate 
in 1802. In 1807 he was elected to the United States Senate. 
During this canvass he fought a duel with Peter L. Van Alen, a 
lawyer, and his antagonist fell mortally wounded. He also fought 
another duel with George Clarke, and was himself severely wound- 
ed. He was re-elected to the United States Senate in 1811. When 
Vice President Clinton was disabled by sickness, Mr. Crawford was 
chosen President of the Senate protem. In 1813 President Mad- 
ison offered him the ap])ointment of Secretary of War, which he 
declined. He accepted however, the post of Minister to France, 
where he remained two years. In 1815, he asked a recall, and 
while still on his voyage was appointed Secretary of War. In 1816 
he was apiiointed to the Treasury Department, and remained in that 
office during President Monroe's administration until 182 5, when 
he was honored the same position in John Q. Adam's cabinet, bu' 
declined it. Mr. Crawford returned to his home at the end of 
Monroe's term in 1825, and in 1827 was made Judge of the Norther a 
Circuit of Georgia, which he held up to his death, which occurred 
in Elbert County, Ga., Sept. 10, 1834, aged 62 years. 

The arms for Crawford, which have been sacredly handed down 
from the first John Crawford in Virginia are given in Burke's 
English Peerage, as for Crufurd of Scotland, described as follows:

Charles Parrott; died young. 
C. B. (Boots) Parrott, killed in the battle of Hatcher's 

March 3, 1865. He belonged to Pickett's Division of the 
Confederate Army. 

4. William N. Parrott, was a non commissioned officer in 
Pickett's division of the Confederate Army, but of a different 
regiment and brigade from his brother, C. B. Parrott, who 
fell at Hatcher's Run. However, William N. Parrott was en- 
gaged and wounded in the same battle. He was wounded also 
in Picketts celebrated charge at Gettysburg. He -was of Kempers 
old brigade, composed of the 1st, 7th, 11th, 17th, and 24th, 
Virginia, and was in the second battle of Manassas. Kemper was 



IJisfori/ mill (Iniciilof/lrs (IS I 

then in command of three brigades, acting as Major General. 
Colonel D. M. Corse, being the ranking Colonel, placed him in 
immediate command of the Kemper Brigade, who made at a crit- 
ical moment one of the most brilliant movements ever witnessed 
on a battle field, when Kemper's old Brigade, with Colonel 
Skinner, on old Fox, his sorrel horse, in the lead wielding his 
sword with deadly effect, and William N. Parrott hard by, took 
a five gun battery and four regimental flags. 

Mr. Parrott seems to bear a charmed life, being survivor of 
many hair-breadth escapes, which would be enough to kill an 
ordinary man. If the Confederate soldiers had all been as hard 
to kill as he. President Davis would never have gone to Fortress 
Munroe. This veteran, like Achilles, must be only vulnerable in 
the heel, as that is about the only part of his body which has 
escaped injury. He began at the early age of six years to court 
death by getting himself, unwittingly in the way of a large tree 
that was being felled — the whole top of the tree falling over him, 
pinning his body to the ground, and costing him about a pound 
of flesh and skin. On twelve different occasions his life seemed 
to hang by a thread, and some of his experiences "were thrilling 
in the extreme, his injuries including broken arms, broken collar 
bone, broken ribs, broken legs, disFocated hips, and bruises and 
strains innumerable. On three occasions he was caught under 
falling timber. Once thrown from a horse, rebreaking a leg, and 
climbing upon his horse, rode in that condition a distance of 
fifteen miles to his home. He was once thrown from a wagon, 
and reeled around the wheel. He was in eighteen regular 
battles — including Picketts gallant charge at Gettysburg, besides 
numerous skirmishes, of the Civil War. He was in the very hot- 
bed of the war, and was shot twice by a cannon and twice by a 
musket, and was in the wreck of the Fat Nancy in 1888, between 
Washington and Charlotte, North Carolina, when the train went 
through a trestle sixty feet high, mashing the car into kindling 
wood, sustaining at that time the most critical injuries — one leg 
was broken in three places, the other leg hurt, still worse in 
the hip, two ribs broken, both elbows nearly broken, and his whole 
bodv fearfully mashed, and bruised, still he survived. How he 
has retained his hold upon life, is one of the miracles of God's 
providence. He calls himself a stack of patched up bones — really 
he looks now, at an advanced age, as though he might stand 
several more knocks. 

The Thompsons and Parrotts can battle long, 
The Dabney blood runs red and strong. 

They all awake at the call of the drums. 

The blood of the Browns to the rescue comes. 

They marshal their forces at his call. 

Who takes this fortress must fight them all.

A ]iiece of cotton fabric, now (1906) one hundred and fifteen 
years old, rres^nted by W. N. Parrott to his cousin, Mrs. Kate O. 
Miller made of cotton grown bv William Thompson (great, grand- 
father of Willam Parrott) on his nlantation in Albemarle County, 
and which his daughter Elizabeth Thompson, carded, spun and wove, 
into muslin, of such a delicate texture, that upon the completion 
of the whole piece of twelve yards, it was passed through an ordi- 



684 History and Ofnealogies 

nary finger ring; she made the muslin (from which the piece was 
cut) into a dress gown which she wore on the occasion of her 
marriage to Captain James Early of Green County. The goods 
being as fine and soft and delicate as the product of the latest 
equipped mills, of the present day. The degree of skill exercisd 
in the weaving of same, was simply wonderful, and shows that the 
ladies of one hundred years ago, were as prettily gowned, as the 
belles of today. By an accident a hole was burned in the gown, and 
a darn which was put in it at the time is so perfectly done that today 
it is extremely difficult to detect the original from the substituted 
threads. The dress is in possession of Mrs. John R. Early of Earlys- 
ville. The Early House, has been in the possession of the family 
for one hundred and thirty years — the fifth generation now occupy- 
ing it. It was built by Mr. Early's great, great, grand-father, Mr. 
Richard Durrett. 

A sample of another piece of ancient cotton cloth stamped and 
called calico, was presented by Mr. Parrott to Mrs. Margaret O. 
Doty, which is a quaint relic of a fabric woven one hundred years 
ago, from cotton grown on the estate of Captain Nathaniel Thompson 
of Albemarle. The plain white cotton cloth was taken to Louisa 
Court-House, where the crudest kind of stamping was -lone, the 
two colors, red and black, showed only on one side. After the 
stamping process, the cloth was called calico. About this bit of 
cotton, hangs a tragical story of nearly a century ago. The cloth 
was cut and made into a wrap for an infant — one day the child 
while being carried in the arms of a servant, was let fall, and f,us- 
tained injuries from which it died, the tiny victim of the slave's 
carelessness — had the child lived he would have been a great uncle 
of W. N. Parrott.

DR. CHARLES BROWN. 



POLLY BROWN. 



Charles Jennings and William .Jennings of Acton Place, London, 
were sons of Sir Humphrey Jennings of England. William died 
a bachelor, leaving a large estate worth many millions. His brother 
Charles had an only child, a daughter Sarah Jennings, who came 



086 flistdri/ Kiiil <Ti'H('aIo(/ies 

to America and settled in Virginia where she became tlie wife of 
Cornelius Dabney, and died leaving a number of children, and 
Bernard Brown, Senior, married a daughter of her son John, (see 
Part III, Chapter 15, Article 2,) her numerous descendants and rep- 
resentatives became heirs to said fortune. Dr. Charles Brown being 
one of the many heirs. Some efforts had been made to secure 
the same, but without success. 

Dr. Brown being a man of fine character, intelligence, influence 
and strong convictions for the right, became very much interested, 
and encouraged by many of the heirs undertook the task of gain- 
ing the estate, with liberal assistance from interested persons, and 
worked hard in the case for years, and made some two or three trips 
to England in this behalf — one of them being made after he was 
past four score years of age, but his efforts were in vain — the estate 
was too large to be permitted to leave England. 

Having many blood relatives in Madison County, Ky., in his old 
age, he made some two visits to see them. We remember one of 
his visits to our grand-father, Christopher Harris (prior to April 
1871,) (the date of grand-father's death), when he was 8 years 
old, past, and Dr. Brown was five years his senior — they talked of 
the fortune, of old times, of old Virginia folk, etc., and the two old 
men had a jolly time together and highly entertained one another. 
He left some valuable notes in the hands of Captain Micajah Woods 
of Charlottesville, Va. To Dr. Charles Brown and his wife were 
born these chiildren: 

Section 1. Bezaleel Ira Brown: married Mary Ann Garth. Had 
a daughter:

In this connection is set forth. "Family History of the Browns, 
by Mrs. M. Virginia B. Osburn, (of Richmond, 'Mo.,) towit: 

"On the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Albemarle 
Count v, Va.. there is a beautiful Cove in the Mountains called 



696 History and Genealogies 

"Brown's Cove." 'Here is where the ancestors of our family came to 
from over the water, and were among the early settlers of Old 
Virginia. I visited this place from the West, when I was a young 
lady, in 1877. It was early in April, but the grass was green, and 
the weather fine. Spring had already come to that balmy section. 
I entered on horse 'back, in company with my cousins, a daughter 
and two sons of my great uncle, Thompson Brown. We stopped at 
first at the large white house, of a relative, who received us with 
great hospitality. This farm was adjoining the old ancestral home 
of Bernis Brown. We stayed over night and rested with this relative 
after over ten miles ride, and in the morning crossed the fields, and 
approached the old Brown home from the rear. The path we fol- 
lowed was the one made by the negroes, long ago, as they passed 
from one plantation to another on their nightly peregrinations. Many 
a 'possum and 'coon had they carried along this path, and, no doubt, 
many a chicken from neighboring roosts. The fence was made of 
rails, low, and in many places falling down. The old country had 
not yet had time to recover from the effects of the Civil War. We 
crossed the fence several times before we arrived at the foot of the 
slight eminence upon which the house was built, and was a promi- 
nent feature of the place. How often out in Missouri, I had heard 
my dear aunt Julian, speak of this spring, and wish for a drink 
from it!. She lived at this place with her uncle Thompson Brown, 
after the death of her parents. Once I heard her say "I never expect 
while I live fo be able to go back and see that old spring again, 
but when I die, I hope I may he permitted to flit by there before 
I leave this world." Now here I stood by the side of this famous 
spring, and how shall I describe it? The ground around it was worn 
hard and smooth, and by its side, shading it, stood a tremendous 
old knarled oak tree. A large nail was driven into this oak upon 
which hung a gourd, and out from beneath a huge lime stone rock, 
there flowed into a large stone basin, a crystal drink fit for the gods! 
The house was old and unpainted. A conspicious feature of the 
place, was the great old oak trees in the yard. I had never before 
seen such oaks. In my far away West, where I had grown up, I 
had seen taller, knarled, scarred old looking ones Mistletoe grew, 
and hung in great green bunches from the bark of these trees, 
giving them a strangely beautiful appearance. As I stood out under 
these anoient oaks ("under the mistletoe" for the first time in 
my life) I cannot find words to express the feeling that came over 
me, as I viewed the scene around. Upon enquiry I found that the 
scars on several of the trees were caused by bullets. The Old Browns 
were fond of their guns, and the target for the shooting match was 
often placed upon these trees. 

I never knew the history of the family father back than my 
great grand-father. Long years ago, this home right at the foot 
of the Blue Ridge — this old home — with its crystal spring and rip- 
pling water, its noble oaks, and swinging mistletoe, was the abode 
of a Methodist preacher, and that preacher, was my great grand- 
father, Bernis Brown. iMy great, great, grand-father, had a large 
family of sons, and they were called the "B. Browns," because., 
thev were all given names with B., Bernis, Brazil, Bradbury, and 
Benjamin, are some of the names, and to this day these names are 
found among their descendants, but out ,of this llarge family, 
there is 'only one which mainly interests me, and that one is my 
great grand-father, Bernis. He was the Democrat, while the rest 
of his brothers were whigs. He also, was the preacher in the family. 
A few rods from the house at Brown's Cove, upon a little knoll, 
he lies buried in the family burying ground. I went and stood 
by his grave during that memorable visit and noticed it was kept in 



llifiionj and (Irnealogies G97 

good repair. A plain granite slab, with his name carved upon it, 
marks his grave. His wife was laid beside him, and two large 
sassafras trees stood near, like sentinels guarding them. I have 
never heard anything about his preaching. The cause of this, I 
suppose, is that my father was not a religious man. However, about 
two years before my father died, he talked to me for the first time, 
about his grand-parent, and related an interesting incident which 
reflects honor upon him, and shows that his heart was right. I 
do not think that my father had ever mentioned this to any one 
else. It was kept a secret, from the first on account of the turbulent 
state of affairs in Virginia at that time, and no historian got hold 
of it. The brothers of Bernis Brown being of the opposite political 
l)arty were not entrusted with this secret, so that their descendants 
know nothing about it to this day. The incident is this: Bernis 
Brown was an intimate friend of Thomas Jefferson. In the spring 
of 17 SI, during the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson, who was 
then Governor of Virginia, fearing the British might capture the 
State Archives, which were then at Monticello, entrusted them 
secretly to Bernis Brown to take care of and conceal. He took them 
out to his home at Brown's Cove, and with the assistance of an 
honest old mountaineer packed them upon the backs of 
mules and took them up over the "Black Rocks" in the 
Blue Ridge Mountains, not far from his home, and concealed 
them in a cave. The friends of Jefferson knowing that Monticello 
was in great danger of being invaded by the British, would come 
to him and ask anxiously about the state archives, and to them all 
the great man would only say "never mind, they .are safe." The. 
invading army did get to Monticello, but failed to get their booty. 
The father of Democracy escaping on horse back, and the archives 
safe in the hands of his staunch Democratic friend. The secret was 
well kept, and to this day no historian has ever known that Bernis 
Brown, once had charge of and saved the Archives of Old Virginia. 

My grand-father Tyre Rodes Brown, was born in Brown's Cove, 
Albemarle County, Va., June 13, 1793. He was an educated man 
and a teacher. He married Miss Sarah Nicholas, of Rockingham 
County, Va., and lived after his marriage on his farm on North 
River, near Weyers Cave, Va. Their children were a follows: 

Section 1. Madison Nicholas Brown, born in Browns Cove, Albe- 
marle County, Va., March 21, 1815. He married Mary Sewell Hop- 
kins, daughter of Philip Hopkins of Staunton, Va., and niece of 
Colonel Joseph Mauzy, on St. Valentines Day 1844. He died Dec. 
17, 1780, and his wife Feb. 6, 1896; issue: 

1. Mary Virginia Brown; married Mr. Morris Osburn, Dec. 
6, 1881. Home Richmond, Mo. One son was born of this union: 

1. Worth James Osburn, who is now twenty four years old, 
and a professor of mathematics at Central College, Fayette, 
Mo. He graduated from Central College and took the Master's 
Degree from Vanderbilt University before he was twenty-one. 
He was assistant teacher of mathematics at Vanderbilt the 
year after he was graduated from there, and is now making a 
success of college work. 

2. Thomas Jefferson Brown; married Miss Clemmie Rust, who 
died and left two little girls: 

1. Pocahontas Rust Brown. 

2. Kate Strother Brown. 

These two girls were educated at Stephens College, Columbia, 
Mo., and are now living with their father on the old home farm 
at Lone Srar. 

3. Julian Catherine Brown; married Mr. Alfred T. Irvine of 



r)98 History and Genealogies 

Saline County, Mo., and died Marcli 8, 1875, a few weelvs after 

the birth of a fine son, whom she named: 

1. Brown Houston Irvine. This son was drowned while bath- 
ing in Salt Fork, Saline County, Mo., when about twelve years 
of age. 

4. Prances Elizabeth Brown; died when a child June 19, 1861. 

5. Tyre Brown, a fifth child, and second son, was born at "Lone 
Star," Ray County, Mo., Jan. .31, 1860, and died Sept. 23, 1893. 
He married Miss Sallie Rust. Three sons were born of this union: 

1 . Roger Q. Brown. 

2. Rust B. Brown. 

3. Richard Tyre Brown; died at about six years of age. 
Section 2. Julian Henrietta Rodes Brown, born on North River, 

Rockingham County, Va., April 7, 1818. She married Charles 
Carthrae. 

Section 3. Sidna Eliazbeth Brown, born on North River, Rock- 
ingham County, Va., May 18, 1821. She married Addison Carthrae. 

My aunts Julian and Sidna spoke of my father, the eldest, in 
the most affectionate terms — calling him "Brother," — and always 
looked up to him with the greatest respect. Dear Aunt Julian has 
often told me of the times she would go with him in a boat out on 
the river fishing. Some times they would go at night, she carrying 
the pine torch. But, alas! alas! the blow came to this happy family. 
Typhoid fever, that dread scourge, struck them, and completely 
annihilated the home. The father died Dec. 29, 1835, the mother 
the next day, and both were buried together. 

Then nearly all of their slaves died at that time of the same 
disease, leaving the three bright, interesting children, suddenly, 
without father, mother, colored servants or home. The three aged 
respectively twenty, seventeen and fourteen were not only left with- 
out fatilier, mother, kind old servants, and all that made home, home, 
but they were each torn apart, and put into the wide, wide world. 
How hese homeless orphans must have suffered, and how lonely 
and homesick they must have been away off from one another! 

Julian went to live with her uncle, Thomas Brown, who then 
lived at the 'home of her grand-father Bernls, in Brown's Cove. 
Sidna went to live with an aunt, and my father, Madison, came to 
McGaheysville, not far from his broken home, and secured a position 
as clerk in the merchantile house of Colonel Mauzy, a wealthy and 
prominnt man of that village. At this place my father first met 
my mother, Miss Martha Sewell Hopkins, daughter of Philip Hop- 
kins, of Staunton, Va., and niece of Colonel Mauzy — a pretty mother- 
less girl under the care of her uncle and aunt. Here for several 
years these two young people — she four years his junior, met at 
the same table and of evenings made sweet music together, he on 
the violin, and she accompanying him on the piano. Is it any wonder 
that thse two fragments of broken homes should have fallen in love 
with one another? They were married Feb. 14th, (St. Valentine's 
Day) 1844, and soon went to house-keeping at a small place on 
"the pike," now called "Mauzy," about seventeen miles from Mc- 
Gaheysville, where my father went into the merchantile business, 
in partnership with Richard Mauzy, son of Colonel Joseph Mauzy. 

My father's two sisters had long been settled on rich farms in 
Saline County, Mo. Sidna having married Mr. Addison Carthrae 
and started immediately fcr the West, her sister accompanying her. 
They left Virginia Sept. 9, ]8"9. A short time after thev were in 
Missouri, Julian married Mr. Charles Carthrae, brother of her sister's 
husband. 

Several months previous to my father's marriage he visited his 



nistorij and GenenUxjios (iI)"J 

sisters and also, his uncle Bernis Brown, who also lived in Saline 
County, and was so nnu^h i)leased wilh I he State, that he became 
anxious to make it his home, but it was hard for my mother to con- 
sent to leave all of her relatives and friends and so they tarried in 
Virgniia after their marriage. But years moved on, and a time come, 
when the dream of Missouri was to be realized. Four childrcMi were 
then born into the family, Mary Virginia, Thomas .Tefferson, .Julian 
Catherine and Frances Elizabeth, and my mother became convinced 
that Missouri was a better place in which to raise them. So it was 
for her husband's and children's sake she made the splendid self- 
sacrifice of leaving everything else, that was dear to her, to brave 
"the unknown." It was in the spring of 1854, they parted with 
their old friends forever and started with us on our long journey 
Westward. We spent the first summer in Saline County, Mo., witli 
my fatiher's relatives, and in the fall settled upon the farm my father 
had bought in Ray Countv, Mo., which he named "Lone Star." 
"Richmond, Mo., Jan. 10, 1907. — Mr. W. H. Miller — : 

Enclosed you will find a portion of my sketch of the Browns, 
which contains the data you have asked for. As my work will not 
be published, you are welcome to do as you please with this part 
of it. I can assure you it is truthfully given as far as I know. 
I beg to say also, that the incident about Bernis Brown and Thomas 
Jefferson in Revolutionary times is true history and not mere tra- 
dition, as my father was very truthful and exact in his statememts. 
The "additional data" I have thrown hastily together for you, but 
you can dispense with it if you choose. The family records of Ben- 
jamin Brown's family here have been lost, so I can tell you noth- 
ing about them, "Very Truly, 

M. Virginia B. Osburn."

1. — Delaney. 

This family was founded A. D. 1677, by Cainnac Cas, son of 
Olliol Ollum, king of Munster, and Sabia, daughter of Con Kead 
Caha, King of Ireland. The ancient name was Deaghlabhairb, 
meaning "proper in speech." Their possessions lay principally in 
the Counties of Clare and Roscommon. They were also Chiefs of 
Tuath-on-Toriadh, and a clan of much note in Upper Ossory, 
Queens and Kilkenney. 

(Extract from Rooney's Irish Families.) 
Until recent date the name was spelled "Delaney," and so found 
spelled on the early records of Virginia and Kentucky. Now it is 
often spelled "Dulaney." In this book the modern form is used in 
spelling the name. 

2. — Tates Cieek, Dreaming Creek, Viney Fork and Bethel 

Cliurches. 

The Tates Creek and the Dreaming Creek Churches, both of 
the Old School Baptist order and discipline called "United," were' 
among the very first, if not the first, churches constituted in Mad- 
ison County, Kentucky. Another very old church of the same faith 
and order was Viney Fork, located on Muddy Creek where the vil- 
lage of Speedwell is, which was constituted to-wit: On January 22, 
1797, eighteen persons in fellowship met and appointed messengers 
to visit Tates Creek and Dreaming Creek, asking for help; and on 
February 2 6 they reported to an adjourned meeting, Bros. Andrew 
Tribble and Isaac Newland, from Tates Creek, and Bros. Peter 
Woods and Christopher Harris, from Dreaming Creek, and on 
March 20, 1797, adopted a Church Covenant and Rules of Decorum, 
and at a meeting second Saturday in August, 1797, agreed to build 



Uii<tor!j and Ucncaluijics

Rev. Geo. W. Broaddus, then a member of the Old School Baptist 
Church at Viney Fork (at said church meeting house) was ordained 
as a minister of the Gospel the second Saturday, April, 1845, by 
a presbytery composed of Moses Foley, David Chenault (from Cane 
Spring), Nelson C. Alspaugh, Moses B. Willis and Jonas D. Wilson. 
Bro. Moses Foley was Moderator and Anderson Chenault, Clerk, 
and Elder Broaddus was called to the pastorate of the church, which 
he accepted for six months. About this period the church drifted 
into the ways of the Missionaries, and soon became identified with 
that denomination. 

The Bethel Church of Old School Baptists, located on Hays 
Fork of Silver Creek, on the Big Hill road, near the present village 
of Kingston, and six or seven miles south of Richmond, Ky., was 
constituted second Saturday in October, 1813. Elder Christopher

their escape ,made their way to Ulster, and from them many of the 
people of Augusta County have descended. An appendix to the old 
Scotch Book, called "A Cloud of Witnesses," says: "Anno 1679, of 
the prisoners taken at Bothwell were banished to America two 
hundred and fifty who were taken away by Paterson, a merchant of 
Leith, who transacted for them with Provost Milns, Laird of Barton, 
the man that first burnt the Covenant, whereof two hundred were 
drowned by shipwreck at a place called "The Mulehead" of Darness, 
near Orkney, being shut up by the said Paterson's order beneath 
the hatches, — fifty escaped." The Bothwell prisoners were herded 
like cattle for many months in Grayfriar's Church Yard. Edinburgh 
without shelter, half-clad and half-starved. Those who refused to 
take the oath of allegiance to the persecuting Government were sent- 
enced to banishment. The list of these men reads like a muster- 
roll of Augusta County people; including the familiar names of 
Anderson, Brown, Campbell, Miller, Reid, Walker, etc. Among 
the prisoners who survived the shipwreck and escaped to Ireland 
were Thomas Miller, John Martin, and others. 

As far as known the country now embraced in Augusta County, 
was never entered by white people until the year 1716. However, 
in 1710, some portion of the valley of Virginia had been seen from 
the top of the Blue Ridge by Europeans. Governor Spotswood in a 
letter to Council of Trade, London, Dec. 15, 1710, says: "A com- 
pany of adventurers found the mountains not above a hundred miles 
from our upper inhabitants, and went up to the top of the highest 
mountain with their horses, tho they had, hitherto, been thought to 
be unpassable." 

It would seem that the adventurers looked into the valley from 

the mountains in the neighborhood of Balcony Falls. This portion 

of the valley was then entirely uninhabited. The Shawnee Indians 

had a settlement in the lower valley, at or near Winchester, and 

parties of that tribe frequently traversed this section on hunting 

excursions, or on warlike expeditions against Southern tribes; but 

there was no Indian village or wigwams within the present limits 

of the county. The first passage of the Blue Ridge, and entrance 

into the valley by white men was made by Governor Spotswood in 

1716. Starting from Williamsburg, leaving coach, and taking horse, 

at Germanna, a small frontier settlement, where he was joined by 

others of his party, a company of Rangers, and four Meherren 

Indians, comprising in all about fifty persons, they journeyed by way 

of the Upper Rappahannock river, and after thirty six days from the 

day they left Williamsburgh, scaled the mountain at Swift Run Gap, 

descended on the western side into the valley and encam])ed on the 

bank of the Shenandoah river. Proceeding up the river and finding 

a place where the river was fordable, crossed it, and there on the 

western bank, the Governor formally "took possession for King 

George the First, of England." (George I died and was succeeded 

in June, 1727, by his son, George II.) In commemoration of this 



704 History and Genealogies 

expedition Governor Spotswood sought to establish the order of 
"Knights of the Golden Horse-shoe." 

In 17 27, Robert Lewis, William Lynn, Robert Broolts Jr. James 
'Mills, William Lewis, and Beverley Robinson, for making discoveries 
of land among the mountians, and desirous of taking up some of 
t'hose lands petitioned the Governor and Council for six years' time 
to seat the same. 

The fir.st permanent settlement by white people was made by 
natives of Germany in 172 6, on the Shenandoah river, a few miles 
below the present village of Port Republic. 

William Beverley, son of Robert Beverley, the Virginia Historian, 
and grand-son of Robert Beverley, who commanded the Royal forces 
at the time of Bacon's Rebellion, was a lawyer of Essex County 1720- 
17 40; member of the House of Burgesses, and of the Governor's 
Council, and County Lieutenant of Essex, died March, 1755, his only 
son, Robert, then a minor. Said William Beverley in a letter of April 
30, 17 32, claimed the land by right of discovery and survey, and 
says "!he has already sold some of it to a Pennsylvania man"; but 
the colony of sturdy Dutchmen were ahead of Mr. Beverley, having 
settled several years before near Massannutting, who in pettion to 
Governor and General Council claimed five thousand acres they 
purchased of Jacob Stover for a great sum of money, upwards of 
four hundred pounds. 

Among the petitioners was Adams Miller. 

Fifty-one white people were settled on nine plantations on the 
Shenandoah near Massannutting Mountain in 1733; the settlement 
was made in 1729: ])revious to 1729, there were some, although very 
few, white inhabitants there. Among the few white inhabitants 
previous to 17 29 v/as Adam Miller. He resided at and owned the 
place now known as Bear's Lithia Springs, near Elkton. The certifi- 
cate of his naturalization issued under the hand of Governor Gooch, 
March 13, 1741, set forth that he was a native of Sherstien in Ger- 
many, and had lived on the Shenandoah for 15 years next before the 
date" of the paper. Showing that Adam Miller, came to the valley 
as early as 172 6. It is probable that Jacob Stover's title to the 
property was established, as Gabriel Jones and Thomas Lewis, who 
bought lands in 1751, and made their homes on the Shenandoah 
derived their titles indirectly from Jacob Stover, the deed to Mr. 
Jones sets forth that Stover had obtained by patent a grant of five 
Thousand acres. 

Besides the German Colony, the early settlers of Augusta were 
of the Scotch-Irish race, and up to the time of the Revolutionary 
War, very few persons of any other race came to live in Augusta. 

At a Council of war held by order of the Governor at Augusta 
Court House July 27, 1756, one of the points on the frontier where 
the Council unanimously agreed that a fort should be constructed 
for the protection of the inhabtants, was at Captian John MiU'^r's 
on Jackson's Creek, twenty miles from Trout Rock. 

George Crawford, son of Patrick and Sally Crawford, and to 
whom his father left the plantation on which he resided, was born 
October 1, 1754, married Nancy Winter, daughter of William and 
Ann Boone Winter, the latter the aunt of Daniel Boone, the Kentucky 
pioneer. Hannah Winter, a sister of Mrs. Crawford, married Henry 
Miller, the founder of Miller's Iron Works on Mossy Creek Augusta 
County. 

All the children of George and Nancy Winter Crawford, were 
daughters, viz: 

1. Nancy Crawford, wife of John Miller. 

2. Hannah Crawford, wife of Henry Miller. 

3. Sally Crawford, second wife of James Bell.

4. Jane Crawford, wife of Franklin Mc-Cue. 

5. Martha Crawford, wife of Peler Hanger. 

6. Polly Crawford, wife of James Bourland. 

7. Rebecca Crawford, died unmarried. 

8. Margaret Crawford, wife of James W'all^er. 

The Biograi)hers of the celebrated Daniel Boone, state that he 
came from Pennsylvania on an excursion to Augusta in 1748-9, with 
his cousin Henry Miller. The latter returned to the county and 
built on Mossy Creek the first Iron Furnace in the valley. 

February 2 3, 1744, Peter Scholl and others of Smiths Creek (now 
Rockingham) petitioned the court, setting forth that they were re- 
quired to work on a road thirty miles distant from their plantations, 
and praying for a new road near home, which was granted. 

Peter Scholl, was one of the first Justices of Augusta in 1745, 
and probably the same Peter Scholl, who was living in Kentucky in 
1776, intimately associated with Daniel Boone, and spoken of as 
Boone's uephew-in-law. 

Thomas Miller was a member of the 7th Regiment led by 
Captain Robert GaiSble, when Stony Point was taken from the 
enemy July, 15, 1779. General Charles Lee declared the storming 
of Stony Point the most brilliant achievement he was acquainted 
with in history. 

John Gratton, one of the Church Wardens of Augusta parish in 
1774, was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian of the old Covenanter's faith 
and practice, noted for his love of David's Psalms in long metre, and 
his long prayers at family worship. He settled on North river, now 
in Rockingham County, and built the first good flour mill in the 
valley. 

One of his daughters became fhe wife of Colonel Robert Gamble; 
another the wife of Samuel Miller, son of Henry Miller, the founder 
of the Iron Works on Mossy Creek in 1774. 

The political convention w^liich met in Staunton July 15, 1832, 
that recommended Mr. Clay for the presidency, placed Samuel Miller, 
of Augusta, on the electoral ticket nominated by the convention. 

Henry Miller, the founder of the Iron Works having died, his 
administrators, Samuel Miller, and John M. Estill, advertised for 
sale Sept. 6, 1811, the furnace and forge, with 8,000 acres of land, 
(supposed to be the most valuable property of the kind in Virginia). 
At the Session of the County Court of Augusta, Oct. 16,1793, 
the Court ordered the sheriff to erect a gallows at the forks of the 
roads leading from Staunton to Miller's Iron Works, and to Peter 
Hanger's, and that same be considered as the place of execution of 
all condemned per.sons in the future, which may by law be executed 
by the sheriff of Augusta. 

William Miller was a musician in Captain John C. Sower's 
Company in 1S13. 

Da\id Miller was a sergeant in Captain Alexander R. Given's 
Company in 1813. 

In 1818, the Rev. John McCue, who had filled a large space in 
the County of Augusta, was thrown from his horse and killed one 
Sabbath morning while on his way to Tinkling Spring Church. He 
was a good man, when so inclined could tell comic stories in a man- 
ner irresistably laughable. His sons were James A., John, and 
Franklin McCue, long prominent citizens of Augusta. Dr. William 
McCue, of Lexington, and Cyrus McCue, a lawyer, who died young. 
His daughters were Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. Potterfield, Mrs. McDowell, 
and Mrs. Miller. 

The Harrisonburg and Warm Springs Turnpike, chartered in 
1830, passed bv Miller's Iron Works.

706 History and Genealogies 

As early as 17 3 4 Michael Woods, an Irish immigrant, with three 
sons and three sons-in-law, came up the valley and pushed their way 
through Wood's Gap (now called Jarman's), and settled on the 
eastern side of the Blue Ridge. His sons-in-law were Peter, 
William, and Andrew Wallace. Samuel Wallace, (brother of the 
latter trio) removed to the Caldwell Settlement, now Charlotte 
County, married Esther Baker, and was the father of Caleb Wallace, 
a distinguished man in Kentucky, born in 1742. 

During the Revolutionary War officers were sometimes trans- 
ferred from one regiment to an other. In a list of officers on the 
establishment of eight regiments, found among the papers of Colonel 
Robert Gamble, after the battle of King's Mountain, which occurred 
October 7, 1780, James Woods (grandson of Michael Woods) was 
Colonel of the Eighth, Robert Gamble, a Captain, and John McDowell 
and Henry Bowyer, Lieutenants of the same regiment. Captain 
Andrew Wallace, (grand-son of Michael Woods,) and Thomas Bowyer 
of the Eighth are entered as having been killed at King's Mountain. 
On the old army list it is stated that Captain Andrew Wallace was 
killed at the battle of King's Mountain. Foote states however, that 
he was killed at Gulford. He says, Captain Andrew Wallace from 
near Lexington was in the regular service and had always shown 
himself a brave man. That morning he expressed a mournful presage 
that he would fall that day; in the course of the action he sheltered 
himself behind a tree, with some indications of alarm; being re- 
proached, he immediately left the shelter and in a moment received 
his death wound. 

Thomas Lewis' home in 174 6 was probably at his father's on 
Lewis' Creek, about two miles northeast of Staunton; Michael 
Woods resided east of the Blue Ridge in Albemarle; the road or path 
between the homes of Lewis and Michael Woods was through Woods' 
Gap. The Journal of Thomas Lewis (the first Surveyor of Augusta 
County) of the expedition of himself and others in 1746 to establish 
a part of the line of Lord Fairfax's grant, states; "that Colonel 
(Peter) Jefferson, (father of the President late County Surveyor, 
and County Lieutenant of Albemarle) and Mr. Brooke set off for 
home on Saturday Nov. 15,; on Monday the 17, most of the men 
being discharged, the horses, tents, etc., were set up at auction at 
Captain Down's, and on the same day Mr. Lewis took leave of the 
Gentlemen Commissioners, and started home, he arrived at Michael 
Woods about two o'clock, and crossed the Blue Ridge, that evening, 
spent the night at Samuel Gay's and reached home on the 19th 
having been absent two months and nine days." 

The first County Court of Botetourt was held February 14, 1770, 
and John Bowyer was one of the Justices and Richard Woods was 
appointed and qualified as sheriff, and James McDowell and James 
McGarvack as his deputies, or under sheriffs. On the third day of 
the term Andrew Woods was among the members recommended to 
the Governor for appointment as additional Justices. 

Ann Poage, daughter of Thomas Poage Sr. married Major 
Archibald Woods, of Botetourt, March 5, 1789, who was a son of: 
Mrs. Martha Woods, daughter of Robert Poage Sr. Major Woods 
removed to Ohio County and died in 1846. His son, Thomas Woods, 
who was cashier of the North Western Bank of Virginia at Wheeling, 
was the father of the Rev. Edgar Woods of Pantops Academy, 
Albemarle. 

Joseph Bell of the Stone Church family was in 1781, an agent i 
for buying cattle and on Peburauy 24, wrote to the Governor in 
regard to the difficulties, the farmers were unwilling to sell to the 
State on credit and under orders from Colonel (James) Woods, he 
had seized many cattle. Attorneys paid to do so, pronounced the 



Tlistunj a ltd Genealogies 707 

proceedings illegal and he expected to be sued. He said, however, 
"Good Whigs perform their duty with most punctuality." 

Under ordinance passed by the Stale Convention in July, 1775, 
l)rovidiug for the organization of Minute Men, the Commissioners 
from the Counties of Buckingham, Amherst, Albemarle and Augusta, 
composing a district, met on the Sth of Sept., 1775, at the house of 
(Colonel) James Woods, (son of Colonel John Woods, and Susannah 
Anderson, of Albemarle) in Amherst, now Xelson. 

Samuel McDowell was one of the commissioners from Augusta. 

Virginia furnished fifteen regiments of regulars, known as the 
Continental line. James Woods was the original Colonel of the 
Twelfth regiment, and Charles Lewis of the Fourteenth, (Colonel 
James Woods, about the year of 1795, removed to Kentucky and 
settled on Paint Lick Creek in what is now Garrard County. His 
wife was Mary Rice. ) 

The first Session of the County Court of Rockridge was held 
April, 7, 1778, at the house of Samuel Wallace. John Bowyer, ^nd 
Samuel McDowell, were two of the first Justices present. Among 
the other Justices commissioned was Andrew Reid. Andrew Reid, 
being appointed clerk was sworn in. Among other County Officers 
who qualified were: Samuel McDowell, Colonel; John Bowyer, Lieu- 
tenant, and James McDowell, County Surveyor. 

In 1782, the Marquis of Chastillux, a French officer, traveled 
extensively in Virginia. The Marquis and his party forded South 
river where Waynesborough now is, and put up for the night at a 
little inn kept by Mrs. Teaze, or Teas, a daughter of Colonel John 
Reid, son of Thomas Reid, who came from County Down Ireland. 
Thomas Reid was a brother of John and Andrew Reid, the latter the 
father of the Rockbridge family. 

Mary Cunningham, was born in or a little before the year 1747, 
having been bajitized in that year, by the Rev. John Craig. After 
attaining womanhood, she became the wife of Robert Reid, son 
of John Reid, "of the Kingdom of Ireland," as he is described in 
the payment of an old suit; he was a tavern keeper and the owner 
of seven hundred and forty acres of land adjoining the town of 
Staunton and a house and lot in town. In the evening of the first 
Sunday in December, 17 75, the young preacher, McMillan rode from 
the Stone Church, with Mrs. Reid and lodged at her house. Mr. 
Reid died in October, 1787, intestate and without issue. His estate 
escheated to the commonwealth, subject to the widow's dower 
interest, but in 17 89, the Legislature passed an act granting the 
property to Mrs. Reid. Mr. Reid, however, had a brother, John Reid, 
and two half sisters, Mrs. William Reid, and Mrs. William Buchanan, 
and the descendants of one, or more of those relatives, after Mrs. 
Reid's second marrige, brought suit to recover the property but 
were unsuccessful. 

Spottsylvania County had jurisdiction over the lands of the valley 
from the date of the first settlement, 172 6-1732, till 1734, when 
Orange County was constituted. After the latter date, for some 
years the valley was a part of Orange. The County Court of Orange 
was opened January, 21, 1734, and among the Justices included in 
•the commission of the peace issued by Governor Gooch was Benjamin 
Borden, a native of New Jersey, and agent of Lord Fairfax in the 
lower valley, who obtained fro^m Governor Gooch a patent dated Oct. 
3, 1734, for a tract of land in Frederick County, which was called 
Borden's Manor, and was promised 100,000 acres on the James 
river, west of the Blue Ridge, as soon as he should locate a hundred 
settlers on the tract. Borden and Beverley were indefatigable in 
introducing settlers from Europe. Borden's Tract was south of 
Borden's Manor, and in the present County of Rockridge, The first 



708 History and Genealogies 

settlers on the tract were Ephraim McDowell and his family. His 
daughter, Mary Greenlee related in a deposition taken in 1806, the 
circumstances under which her father went there. Her brother, Jas. 
McDowell, had come into Beverley's Manor during the Spring of 
17 37, and planted a crop of corn near Wood's Gap, and in the fall 
her father, her brother, John, and her husband and herself came to 
occupy the settlement. Before they reached their destination, and 
after they had arranged their camp, on a certain evening at 
Linnville Creek, (now Rockingham) Borden arrived, and asked per- 
mission to spend the night with them, being on his way to his Tract 
from his Manor in the lower valley. He Informed them of his grant 
and offered them inducements to go there. The next day they came 
on to the house of John Lewis, and there it was finally arranged 
that the party should settle in Borden's Tract. 

Ephraim McDowell was then a very aged man, and lived to be 
over one hundred years old; when a youth of sixteen was one of the 
defenders of Londenderry. He and his family located on Timber 
Ridge, orginally called "Timber Grove", being attracted by the forest 
trees on the ridge, which were scarce elsewhere in the region. 

Borden offered a tract of one hundred acres to any one who 
should build a cabin on it, with the privilege of purchasing more 
at fifty shillings per hundred acres. Bach cabin secured to him 
(Borden) a thousand acres. 

Mrs. Mary Greenlee, in her deposition, related that an Irish girl 
named Peggy Millhollen, a servant of James Bell, dressed herself in 
men's clothes and secured five or six cabin rights. 

Samuel and Richard Woods, were among the settlers in Borden's 
grant. Borden obtained his patent Nov. 8, 17 39. He died the latter 
part of 1743, in Frederick, leaving three sons, Benjamin, John, and 
Joseph, and several daughters. 

The next spring his son Benjamin appeared in Rockbridge (as 
it is now) with authority under his father's will to adjust all mat- 
ters with the settlers on the grant. He had been in the settlement, 
however, before his father's death. 

Mrs. Greenlee says: "Benjamin Borden, Jr., * * * proved- 
to be an upright man, and soon won the confidence of the people." 
The saying "As good as Ben Borden's bill" passed into a proverb. 
He married Mrs. Magdalene McDowell (originally Miss Woods, of 
Rockfish, daughter of Michael Woods and Mary Campbell, his wife) 
widow of John McDowell, who was killed by Indians in December, 
1742, and by her had two daughters, Martha and Hannah. Martha 
became the wife of Robert Harvey; Hannah never married. 

Benjamin Borden, Jr., died of small-pox in 1753. His will was 
probated in Augusta County Court Nov. 21, 1753. The executors 
were John Lyle, Archibald Alexander, and the widow, Magdalene. 
Mr. Lyle declined to serve. His personal estate was large. Mrs. 
Magdalene Borden contracted a third marriage with Colonel John 
Bowyer. 

Michael Bowyer and several sons of French Huguenot descent 
were among the early settlers of Augusta County. Michael Bowyei 
died prior to 1761. His sons, viz: 

Thomas Bowyer moved to Botetourt, and in 1780-1 was e 
Captain in the 8th Virginia Regiment, Continental line. Afterward? 
Major, and died childless in 1785. 

John Bowyer, settled in Borden's Tract in 1753, when quite i 
young man, and at first was a school teacher. He soon marriec 
Mrs. Magdalene Woods-Borden, as stated, and became independent 
In 1763, at Augusta Court he qualified as Captain of Militia, wai 
one of the first Justices of Botetourt in 1770. In 1781 was Colone 
of Rockbridge Militia, and went with his command to lower Vir 



Histori/ and Genealoijics 709 

ginia on the occasion of Arnold's invasion. He died near Lexing- 
ton, Virginia, in 1806, leaving no issne, and is remembered as 
General Bowyer. 

William Bowvcm', was a merchant in Staunton from 1766 to 
1775, and maybe longer. In 1772 was a member of the vestry of 
Augusta parish and a church Warden in 1777, and as Lieutenant- 
Colonel of .Militia, commanded a l)ody of men sent to re-enforce 
General Mclnbosh, on the Ohio River in August, 1776, and was 
Lieutenant-Colonel of Colonel Sampson Matthews' regiment in the 
expedition to lower Virginia in 17S1, and was Sheriff of Augusta in 
17 S4. He had a daughter who married Mr. — Miller, ancestor of 
the late Fleming Bowyer Miller, of Botetourt. 

]\lichael Bowyer, qualified as Lieutenant-Colonel of Militia at 
Augusta Court in 1763, and was a member of the vestry in 1773, 
and of the County Committe in 1775. Early in the Revolution he 
had a store in Fincastle which he left in charge of his nephew, Henry 
Bowyer, to join the army. 

On the 28 Fel)ruary, 1739, John McDowell, whose history is 
given in Part II, Chap. 4, Sec, 1, which will not be repeated here, 
with his wife Magdalene (Woods,) his son, Samuel McDowell, and 
John Rutter, his servant, came from Great Britian in the year 1737, 
to dwell in the Colony and settled in Borden's Tract. He had two 
sons, Samuel, and James, and a daughter, Martha, wife of Colonel 
George Moffett. 

Samuel McDowell was born in 17 33. In 17 73 he was a member 
of the House of Burgesses from Augusta County and was, it is 
reasonably certain. Captain of an independent company of Rangers 
at the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. In 1775-6, he, and Thomas 
Lewis represented Augusta County in the State Convention. When 
Rockbridge County was formed in 1777, he became a citizen of that 
county, his residence being there. In 1781 he commanded the 
battallion of Rockbridge Militia at the battle of Gulford. In June 
of the same year he was sworn in at Staunton as a member of the 
Governor's Council, Governor Nelson qualifying the same day at the 
same place. At the close of the war in 1783, Samuel McDowell 
removed to Kentucky wdth his wife and nine younger children 
leaving two married daughters in Virginia viz: Mrs. Andrew Reid, 
whose husband was the first clerk of Rockridge County Court, and 
father of the late Samuel McDowell Reid, of Lexington. The 
other daughter, Sally, the first wife of Judge Cabel Wallace of 
Charlotte County, afterwards of Botetourt, who was first a Presby- 
terian minister, then a lawyer, who removed to Kentucky and be- 
came a Judge of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky. 

Samuel McDowell, was one of the three Judges of the first 
Kentucky Court. President of nine Conventions which met at 
Danville Ky. between December 27, 1784, and July 26, 1790, and 
also of the Convention which framed the first Constitution of 
Kentucky in 1792. He died in 1817 aged 84 years. His son Dr. 
Ephraim McDowell, studied medicine with Dr. Humphrey, in Staunton 
Virginia: completed his professional education in Edinburg Scotland, 
and was very eminent as a surgeon. Amonw the numerous descen- 
dants of Judge Samuel McDowell were General Irvine ^IcDowell, of 
the U. S. Army, General Humphrey Marshall, and the wife of James 
G. Birney, the Liberty Candidate for President of the U. S. in 1840 
and 1844. The wife of Judge Samuel McDowell was Mary McClung 
whose brother, John INIcClung, was the father of William McClung, 
who removed to Kentucky and became a distinguished Judge. He 
died in 1815. His wife was a sister of Chief Justice :\Iarshall, and 
his sons. Colonel Alexander K. McClung and Rev. John A. McClung, 
D. D., were highly distinguished. 



710 Historj/ and Genealogies 

A brother of Judge McClung, the late Mr. Joseph McClung lived 
until his death on Timber Ridge. 

James McDowell, son of John McDowell and Magdaline Woods 
had one son James McDowell, Colonel in the war of 1812, father 
of the late Governor James McDowell. 

Martha McDowell, daughter of John McDowell, and Magdaline 
Woods, married Colonel George Moffett, son of John Moffett and 
Mary Christian, his wife. Colonel Moffett was born in 1735. He 
lived on the Middle river farm, owned for many years past by the 
Dunlap family, called Mount Pleasant, and built the stone dwelling 
house still on the place. He was not only prominent during the 
Indian Wars, and the Revolution but was so, also, in civil affairs, 
having been a Justice of the Peace, an Elder of the Presbyterian 
Church, and one of the first trustees of Washington College, Lex- 
ington, Virginia. He was a man of commanding presence and emi- 
nently religious. He died in 1811, aged seventy-six years, and was 
buried in Augusta Church grave yard. His children were: John 
Moffett, James McDowell Moffett, Samuel Moffett, William Moffett, 
Mrs. General McDowell of Kentucky, Mrs. Colonel Joseph McDowell 
of North Carolina, Mrs. Kirk of Kentucky, and Mrs. James Coch- 
ran of Augusta County, Virginia. 

James McDowell Moffett was the father of the late Mrs. John 
McCue, and Mrs. Cochran was the mother of John, George M., and 
James A. Cochran. 

Robert McDowell proved his importation May 22, 1740, in the 
Orange Court. 

Prior to 174.5 there were no courts and court days except at 
Orange Court House beyond the mountain. No lawyers resided in 
this i)ailiwick till 1753, when we find Gabriel Jones, the King's At- 
torney, residing on his estate near Port Republic. But the sturdy 
Scotch-Irish people pressed into the country and by the year 1745 
the Andersons, Bowyers, Bordens, Breckinridges, Browns, Camp- 
bells, Lewises, Millers, Moffetts, McDowells, Pilsons, Poages, Pres- 
tons, land others abounded in the settlement. 

On the 30th of July, 1742, the inhabitants of Borden's Trapt' 
petitioned Governor Gooch to commission John McDowell, Captain i 
of Militia, George Moffett, James McDowell, three Andersons and I 
others were signers of the petition. 

On the 27th of November, 17 42, the inhabitants of Borden's 
Tract petitioned for a road to Woods Gap and the Court ordered 
that the road be cleared from James Young's through Timber Grove. 

The military force of Augusta in the fall of 1742 consisted ofl 
twelve companies of about fifty men each. William Beverley was^ 
County Lieutenant, James Patton, Colonel, and John McDowell was 
one of the Captains. All grown men were enrolled regardless of 
iage. Ephraim McDowell, then an old mian, was a member of his 
son John's company, and among the privates were sundry Irvines 
and Millers. David Logan and Robert McDowell belonged to Cap- 
taine Cathrey's company. 

John McClannahan, Jr., son of John McClannahan, and Mar- 
garet Ann Lewis, his wife, moved to Kentucky in 1807, returned 
to Virginia on business, and died in 1815, probably at Lewisburg. 
He inherited from his father the land on which Lewisburg is built.. 
His wife was Mildred Maupin, of Williamsburg. They had seven 
children, only two of whom lived to maturity and married, viz: 

John Gabriel McClannahan, married Eliza McClung, of Green- 
brier, and died in 1S3 8. 

Virginia McClannahan, married Captain John Gantt, of the U 
S. Army, and their only son:

X. B. Ganft, was living in Louisville in 1S90. Mr. Gantt wrote 
"that his grandmother, Mildred Maiipin McClannahan, related that 
she had often heard her mother-in-law say that at the time her 
husband (the first John McClannahan) died the fort was beseiged 
b\- Indians, and as she sat by his bed she heard their whoops." In 
li(>r i)rayer book is this entry: "June :^(), 177 1, tlial fatal day," 
probably the day of her husband's death. 

Vote. — 'Likely the above named John Gabriel McClannahan was 
nanud in commemoration of his two grandfathers, John McClan- 
na.han and Gabriel Maupin, and his mother. Mildred Maupin Mc- 
Clannahan, a daughter or grand-daughter of the first Gabriel 
:\Iaupin, the French Huguenot immigrant, and Marie Spencer his 
wife; most probably the daughter of their son, Gabriel Maupin, 
who was also an immigrant. 

Gabriel Maupin. Senior, died testate, and it is an old story that 
he in his testament gave his son, Daniel Maupin, only a French 
crown, because he married contrary to his father's wishes. 

Daniel Maupin married Margaret Via, and raised a large family 
of sons and daughters, whose descendants are of the best families 
of Virginia and elsewhere. Several of Daniel Maupin's sons served 
in the Indian Wars and protecting the frontier before the Revolu- 
tion against the Indians, and also in the Revolutionary War. 

Daniel Maupin died testate in Albemarle County, Va., in 1788. 
His descendants have a record as soldiers hard to surpass. A great 
number of them were in the Civil War, mostly in the Southern 
army, and their blood was spilt on nearly every battlefield in Vir- 
ginia and Maryland, as well as on other fields. 

William Ramsey, Samuel Carrithers and Hugh Barclay were 
part of the .lury empannelled May 14, 1778, to try Mary Walker for 
"speaking words maintaining the power and authority of the King 
and Parliament of Great Britain over the Colonies of America," 
whom they found "guilty," and the court sentenced her to close 
"gaol" four days and a fine of 15 pounds and 10 shillings. 

Wallace Estill, of Irish descent, was born in New Jersey in 
1707. His first wife was Marcy Bowdy. After the birth of five 
children he removed with his family to Augusta County, betw^een 
1744 and 1747, and a sixth child was born in Augusta. 

Benjamin Estill, the second son of Wallace Estill and Marcy 
Bowdv, was born September 20, 1735; married in Augusta Kitty 
Moffett. He was a Justice of the Peace in 17 64 and afterwai'ds 
removed to the Holston. His sons were: Captain John M. Estill, 
of Long Glade. Augusta County, and Judge Benjamin Estill, of 
South West Virginia. 

Wallace Estill married a second time, Mary Ann Campbell of 
Augusta: By this marriage he had nine children, among them: James 
Estill, born November 9, 1750, and Samuel Estill, born September 
10, 17 55. 

James Estill married in Augusta, Rachael Wright, and removed 
to Greenbrier. Before the year 1780, he removed to Kentucky, and 
settled at Estill's Station, in the present County of Madison, and fell 
at the battle of Little Mountain with Wyandotte Indians in March 
1782. 

Samuel Estill the younger brother of James, married Jane Tess 
or Teas, and also emigrated to Kentucky. He was celebrated in his 
youth as an Indian fighter, and for his great size in his latter years, 
at the time of his death weighing 412 pounds. 

At an early day the people living on the East side of the Blue 
Ridge w^ere called Tuckahoes, from a small stream of that name, 
while the people living on the West side were called Cohees, from 



712 History and Genealogies 

their common use of the terms, "Quoth he, or she" for "Said he, 
or she." 

4. — Referring to Robert Harris, the Iimnigrant from Wales, and 
his son William, who married Temperance Ovei-ton, of Part^ 
III, Chapter 2. 

Some entertain the belief, and may be correctly, that Robert 
Harris came from Wales to Richmond, Virginia, and was employed 
in the tobacco house of one Rice, who soon died, and Robert Harris 
married his widow, Mary, who was a daughter of William Clay- 
borne, Secretary of the Virginia Colony, and that William was born 
in Virginia. His father having engaged in the tobacco business, 
probably led William to be a tobacconist. 

5. — Note referring to Part III, Cliapter 3, Section 4, Snb-section 5, 

and Chai>ters 6 and 12. 

In Part 3, Chapter 3, Section 4, Sub-section 5, in setting forth 
the children of James Harris and Mary Harris, his wife, it is stated 
that Lucy Harris married Thomas Grubbs; the authority for said 
statement appears on page 221 of Rev. Edgar Woods' History of 
Albemarle County, Virginia. Notwithstanding, it would seem that 
said Lucy Harris married Higgason Grubbs and immigrated with 
her husband to Madison County, Kentucky, confirmed by facts 
hereinafter stated. 

The statements appearing in Part HI, Chapters 4, 6 and ^ 2, 
and possibly elsewhere in said Part, that "Two sons of Christopher 
Harris and Mary Dabney, his first wife, married daughters of Hig- 
gason Grubbs," and that "Robert Harris married Nancy Grubbs, 
daughter of Higgason Grubbs," and that "Christopher Harris (Rev.) 
married Elizabeth Grubbs, daughter of Higgason Grubbs," are erro- 
neous in so far as saying they were "daughters" of Higgason 
Grubbs; the truth of the matter is they were sisters of Higgason 
Grubbs. This mistake was not discovered till since going to press. 

The records of the Madison County Court show that "Lucy" was 
the name of the wife of Higgason Grubbs. Quoting from deed re- 
corded in D. B. I., p. 250, date July 9, 1812: "I, Higgason Grubbs, 
of Madison County, and State of Kentucky, do hereby relinquish 
all claim as husband to my wife, Lucy Grubbs, daughter of James 
Harris, deceased, of Albemarle County, Virginia, by virtue of a will 
made by James Harris aforesaid, which gives to said Lucy Grubbs 
one-sixth of certain negroes he lent to his wife, Mary Harris, dur- 
ing her widowhood or lifetime," etc. 

Higgason Grubbs had numerous land transactions, probably 
more than any other man in the county in his active days save 
General Green Clay. He married in Virginia and immigrated to 
Madison County, Ky. at a very early day in its settlements, and 
whilst Kentucky was a part of Virginia, and known as Kentucky 
County. He was here prior to 1781, and remained till his death in 
1830. His wife Lucy survived him only a short while. Higgason 
Grubbs established, it seems, two forts in the present County of 
Madison: Grubbs' Station, on Tales Creek, two miles west of Hoy's 
Station, in 1781, and Grubbs' Station, on Muddy Creek, prior to 
October, 179 2. (Col. His.) 

Miss Lizzie Berry has a wonderfully good mind and retentive 
memory, and has taken great interest in her people, and genealogy 
and knows a great deal about her ancestors, and the old pioneers 
of the county, much she got from her father, (Major James Berry,) 
who never forgot anything in his life, and knew the pedigrees of 



Ilistori/ am] f,'r7irn]o>/ics 713 

people of his nativity bs'tter ilian most any one, and his daughter's 
statements are entitled to much weight and erodit. 

The following sketch was furnislunl by Air. Charles S. Cirubbs, 
of Louisville, Ky., of the law firm of Grubbs & Grubbs (Ch.is. S. and 
Rodman Grubbs), office Kenyon Building, 216 Fifth Street: 

HKJGASON CJRLTHBS. 

Higgason Grubbs was one of the early and prominent settlers 
of Madison County, Kentucky. He came into the state from Vir- 
ginia about the time of the exodus from Albemarle and other coun- 
ties, about 1780, having prior to his removal to Kentucky inter- 
marritd with Lucy, daughter of James Harris, of Albemarle County, 
Virginia. He was an extensive dealer in lands, and while, possibly, 
living in Lincoln County a few years, he seems to have been, with 
this exception, a resident of 'Madison County until his death, June 
30, 1830. (He lived a while in Estill County.) 

The records of Lincoln, Madison, and other Counties, principally 
Madison, disclosed many transactions relating to the purchase or 
sale of lands, or to the defense or prosecution of suits growing out 
of the question of title. He came into Kentucky from Virginia, and 
from Albemarle County. 

The earliest record indicating his presence in Kentucky is 
found in the shape of a deposition in Madison County, Ken- 
tucky, given on the 14th day of March, 1801, in which he locates a 
corner tree on a survey, he testifies that in October, 1780, he and 
Jesse Copper, while buffalo hunting camped at the root of a beech 
tree, which bore the initials "H. G." and "J. C." and the figures 
"1780." He testifies that the initials were put on this tree at the 
time named; and that the tree is the one called for in the Shelton 
survey. 

In the same suit Jesse Copper testifies that "he and Grubbs had 
gone buffalo hunting from the Station where James Hendrick's 
now lives." 

On July 9, 1812, (D.B.I, p. 249.) Madison County, Higgason 
Grul)bs relinquished all claim as the husband of Lucy Grubbs, 
daughter of James Harris, deceased, of Albemarle County, Virginia, 
under the will of James Harris. 

Collins History of Kentucky Vol. II, p.521, states that Grubbs 
Station, Madison County Kentucky, was settled by "Captain" Higga- 
son Grubbs, before October, 1781. 

In the case of Grubbs vs Lipscomb, Madison Circuit Clerk's office 
Book B.p. 442. Aguilla White testifies that he removed from Grutab's 
Station in the spring of 1783. Cradlebough (William) testifies 
that Grubbs' Station was also called Hancock Station, and was on 
the waters of Tate's Creek. 

His prominence in the early settlement of the state is shown 
by this synopsis of Tiis public life: 

1. 1787. One of the Trustees of Boonesboro, appointed by 
Governor of Virginia to supply place of first trustee who refused to 
act, the appointment being made under "Act to explain and amend 
the Act for establishing the town of Boonesbrough, Madison County 
Kentucky," (Virginia Legislature 1779,) passed December 29, 1787. 
Hennings Statutes. Vol. XII. p. 603. See, also Hennings Vol. XII. 
p. 37, 240, and 788. 

2. Member from Madison County Kentucky, of Convention in 
Danville 17S7-8S. 

3. 1790. Member Virginia Legislature from (Madison Co. Ky.) 
Counties formed in 1792, into State of Kentucky. (His name appears 



714 History and Genealogies 

frequently in Journal of t'he House of Delegates Commonwealth of 
Va. Session began Mionday October 18, 1790.) 

4. 1792. Member and representative (Madison Co.) '1st. 
Constitutional Convention. 

5. Member House Representatives (Madison Co.) Ky. 1792- 
1796, 1797, 1978, 1801, and 1802. He seems to have retired from 
public life about this time, probably being compelled to do so by 
reason of the necessity of looking after his private interest in lands, 
which seem to have been the subject of more or less litigation grow- 
ing out of conflicting titles. The records of Madison County dis- 
close this fact and it would seem that in his later years he lost 
much, if not all, of his estate which he had acquired in his earlier 
and more prosperous days. 

6. Grubbs' Station, Madison County Kentucky, settled by 
Captain Higgason Grubbs before October, 1792. (Collins History 
of Kentucky.) 

Higgason Grubbs seems to have been an only son, but he had 
the following sisters, some of whom, at least, removed to and lived 
in Miadison County, Kentucky. 

1. Elizabeth, married Christopher Harris. 

2. Nancy, married Robert Harris. 

3. Mary, married Moore. 

4. Hennie, married Andrew Ray (Rea. ) 

5. Lucy, married Thomas Gooch. 

6. Sally, married James Berry. 

7. Annie, married William Boone. 

8. Susan, married Bartow. 

In Virginia History and Biography Vol. VIII. p. 212, descendants 
of Daniel Maupin, Albemarle County, Va. it is shown that Andrew 
Rea, married Henrietta Grubbs. 

Thomas Grubbs, the oldest son of Higgason Grubbs, died in 
Montgomery County Kentucky, many years ago, but the family 
tradition is that he was born in Virginia. 

In addition to Thomas Grubbs, Higgason Grubbs had four sons 
and one daughter, all of whom were born in the State of Kentucky, 
and died residents of this State. 

John Grubbs one of the sons, married his cousin, Lucy Gooch, 
and the only daughter married Barnes. 

Besides a member of patents issued in Kentucky, the records 
Richmond, Va. show the following patents were issued to Higgason 
Grubbs. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of John Jackson, Book 
100 acres 1781. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Samuel Baldwin, Book 
200 acres. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Wm. Hancock, Book 
100 acres. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Jesse Copper, Book 
100 acres. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Green Clay, Book "V 
400 acres. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Green Clay Book "V 
1300 acres. 

Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Samuel Clements,- who was assignee 
of Samuel Walnut, Grant L. Henry, June 2, 1784-15. 400 acres.

John Higgason, Book 410, p, 536, 20 3 7 acres. 1716. 

Higgason Grubbs seems to have acquired the title of "Captain," 
and while it is posible he was connected with some of the early 
military bodies that came into the state, no evidence is found of

his being a Coniniissioiu'd officer. He was a surveyor and the records 
of MadisonCounly, Kentucky, show that he was a man of education, 
as he wrote a good hand, spelled accurately, and in many instances 
in giving depositions and prei)aring legal documents these documents 
seem to have been in his own hand writing, and were carefully and 
well drawn. Attached hereto are two extracts, one from the Richmond 
Climax, a paper published in xMadison County, which were written 
by William Chenault, now dead. One of these articles speaks of 
"William Grubbs, a pioneer and father of Higgason Grubbs." 

In Gleanings Virginia History, Boogher, the name Grubbs ap- 
pears at the following points: 

Page 23, reference is had to Henning Vol. 7 p, 2 2 0. 

Page 2 5, Albemarle County, Henning Vol. 7 ]), 2 2. 

Page 2 7, Thomas Grubbs. 

Page 3 8, Vol. 7 — 2 00 Henning, Jacob Grubbs. 

Page 116, Richard Grubbs. 

In St. Peter's Parish Register, New Kent Co. Va. the Vestry 
Book has this entry: "1754, Anne, daughter of Hensely and Su- 
sannah Grubbs, born October 6, baptized November 10, 1758. 
Susannah, daughter of Hensely and Susannah Grubbs, born May 
15, baptized .lune 18." 

We observe supra, two sisters of Higgason Grubl)s, married a 
Harris, and he had a nephew, Hensley Harris, well known in 
Southern Kentucky, where he died some years ago. Hensley seems 
to have been a family name, but are not advised where the name 
Higgason comes from, except, it is an old Virginia name, found in 
York and other Counties, where Captain Robert Higgason, and 
others of the same name were well kown. 

In the Library of Congress, Manuscript Division, Vol. 8 page 
1067, and Vol. 9 page 1128, will be found letters of James Grubbs 
to James Munroe, who was evidently of Virginia. 

There is also, in the Library of Congress a pamphlet of the 
Grubbs family of Pennsylvania and Delaware, some of whom re- 
moved into Virginia. This family was the immediate descendants 
of John Grubbs, who immigrated from England, 167 7 and settled 
at Grubbs' Landing, Delaware, 1681. Judge Ignatius C. Grubbs, of 
Wilmington, Delaware, is a descendant of this line, and has given 
considerable attention to the family history both in America and 
England. While the families are each, possibly, of the same origin, 
English, no connection between the two has so far been made. 

In England the name is Grubb and Grubbe, but there seems to 
be no definite explanation why another branch spell the name 
"Grubbs". Possibly the accidental changing of the old English 
final "e" to "s". 

Extract from the Climax: 

Visiting His Old Home. 

"James William Parrish, Esq. of Winchester, came over last 
week to meet the few remaining friends of his boy-hood. He was 
born in Madison, but left here half a century ago. His father was 
Samuel Parrish, who came from Lexington about 1817, and married 
a daughter of Captain James Berry, who was wounded in the battle 
of Little Mountain, in which Captain James Estill was killed and 
brought to Boonsborough on the back of the slave Monk. 

Capt. Berrys wife was a daughter of William Grubbs, a pioneer, 
and sister of the distinguished Higgason Grubbs, who represented 
Madison County in two famous Separation Conventions at Danville, 
also in the Constitutional Convention of 1792, and was representative 
in the first Legistature which convened at Lexington, and Elector 



71 G History and Genealogies 

of the first Senate, an office that perished with the first Constitution. 
Mr. Grubbs' daughter married Squire Boone Jr. nephew of the 
immortal Daniel, and father of Major Levi D. Boone, of Chicago. 
Mrs. Parrisli's brother was Major James Berry, formerly Post-Master 
of Richmond. Mr. Parrish and the late Thomas Parrish of the Fox- 
town vicinity were brothers. 

He has many attachments for his old home. When a young man, 
he boarded at the "Widow's Inn," a hotel kept by two widows in 
what is now the Dellingham, or Climax building. Mr. Parrish is 
hale and hearty. He was accompanied by his nephew, Mr. J. A. 
Parrish, better known as Captain Jack 2:08%. — Richmond Climax. 

From a series of articles by William Chenault, now deceased, 
which appeared in Richmond (Ky.) Register: 

"In the fall of 1791, Captain Higgason Grubbs built a station 
six miles east of Madison Court House and moved a few families 
to that place. A crop was raised here in the summer of 1792, but 
the inhabitants left the station for a short time in the summer 
through fear of Indians, and returned again in the same fall. 
A convention was called at Danville, on the 2nd of April, 1792, to 
make a Constitution for the new State of Kentucky about to be 
admitted into the Union on the 1st of June of that year. Miadison 
was represented in this Convention by Thomas Kennedy, Joseph 
Kennedy, Thomas Clay, Higgason Grubbs, and Charles Kavanaugh. 
The pro-slavery clause of the Constitution was the main issue before 
tJhe Convention. All the delegates from Madison were for the clause, 
except Charles Kavanaugh, the pioneer Methodist minister, who 
recorded his vote against pro-slavery feature of the Constitution. 
He was true to the teaching and doctrines of the pioneer Methodists 
of the County that no man should purchase a slave except in case 
of mercy and humanity. 

In May, 1792, Isaac Shelby was chosen Governor, not by the 
people but by forty electors chosen by the peojile. The electors 
chosen for Madison County were William Irvine, Higgason Grubbs, 
and John Miller. Our first Senator was, also, elected by the forty 
electors, and their votes gave the position to Thomas Kennedy. 

A contest soon arose over the location of the Capital of the state 
and Boonesboro made quite an effort to obtain the jirize. On the 
30th of August, 1792, the citizens of the county subscribed $8,166.67 
in money and 18,-5.50 acres of land to secure the permanent location 
of the Capital at Boonesboro. The two largest subscribers were 
Gen. Green Clay, and Judge Thomas Clay. The first gave $1,000 
in money and 10,000 acres in Madison County land. The second 
gave 3,000 acres of land in same county. Liberal sums were donated 
by John Holder, William Bush, William Calk, William O'Rear, 
D. Bullock, Robert Clark. Jr. Robert Clark, Sr. John Moore, John 
Wilkerson, James McMillan, James French, Robert Blkin, William 
Hayes, Henry Haynes, Peter Evans, Ebenezer Piatt, Higgason Grubbs 
and many others. 

On the first day of June 1792, the District of Kentucky became 
the State of Kentucky. Governor Shelby appointed David Gass, 
John Miller, James French, and Robert Rodes as the new Judges 
of the Court of Quarter Sessions. John Snoddy, Archibald Woods, 
Joseph Kennedy, Adam Lewis, Thomas Kennedy, and Moses Dooley 
were made Justices of the Peace with power to hold County Court. 

John Boyle, the old pioneer Justice, who had roamed the County 
with Daniel Boone, sold out his farm near Estill Station and moved 
to the Western end of Madison in the present County of Garrard. 
With John Kincaid, of Milford, he had followed the flag of Gen. 
George Rogers Clark, in his expedition against the Kaskaskia and 
Vincinnes in 17 78 and 1779, and was one of the sufferers from the 



History and Genealogies 717 

robbery of Daniel Boone at. Painter's Fork in 1781. His friend 
Joseph Kincaid, had already fallen on the bloody battle field of 
Blue Licks where he was a soldier in the same coniiiany with 
Ezekiel Field, the father of the well known merchant of Richmond. 
The pioneer element of the County was beginning to yield other 
influences. The sway of military men was yielding to that of the 
farmer, the teacher and the professional man. The way was be- 
ginning to be opened for the coming of Barnabas McHenry and 
John Finley, to the County and their influences as teachers in the 
County was long to be felt upon the rising young men of the County 
and State at large." (Signed) W. C.

These are all I know, there may have been more. 

The aforesaid J. Thomas Berry, past 7 6 years of age, very 
active, and now Deputy Assessor, says his grandparents, James and 
Sarah Berry, were in the fort on Shallow Ford Creek, and William 
Berry, their oldest child, was born in said fort some time in 1783. 
Said fort was established on the farm now owned by Jacob S. White.

July 2, 1879. Nineteen years between his birth and that of his 
oldest brother, William, who died on Shallow Ford witliin a mile 
and a half of the place of his birth, in the fall of 1857. His grand- 
father, James Berry, was wounded in the thigh in the battle of

James Estill, was killed, and Mr. Berry was carried off the battle- 
field on the back of the slave negro Monk. William Watts Mioore, 
who died a few months ago, past 9 4 years of age, was a son of 
Reuben Moore and Nancy Watts, his wife, and a grandson of one

JAMES HARRIS. 



They had six children, James, the sub- 
ject of this sketch, being the second 
child. He was born in Boone County, 
May 17th, 1818, and died in the same 
county, July 11th, 1881. He was given 
such an education as was afforded by the 
common schools of Missouri at that day 
and was one of the first graduates of 
Bonne Femme Academy. He later studied 
the art of surveying, and was at one time 
Deputy United States Surveyor and sur- 
veyed many of the public lands in Mis- 
souri and Arkansas preparatory to bring- 
^^^^ ing them into market. He was elected 

j pi ^- 1 "W several times to the office of County Sur- 
iPs ^mS^^ veyor of Boone County, the duties of 
f^ j^^Ur wliich position he discharged with great 

■^jj^^H^ credit to himself and satisfaction to the 

^^^^T people. In 1858 he was elected as Boone 

■^(^^^ County's representative in the State Leg- 

islature and in 18 6 6 was elected County 
Court Judge, which position he held 
for twelve years. Colonel W. P. Switz- 
ler in writing of his official serv- 
ices in the Columbia Statesman says that "to Judge Harris more 
than to any other man is Boone County indebted for its excellent 
credit and fair name among the various Counties of the State." 
During the Civil War Judge Harris, although a slave owner and 
in close social and buisness relations with the South, was an out- 
spoken Union man maintaining from the first and throughout the 
struggle that the government of our fathers should be kept as one 
and inseparable forever. 

Judge Harris united with the Bonne Femme Baptist Church 
August 8, 1839, and was a member of this one congregation for 
nearlv forty-two years. As a Baptisit, his influence was known and 
felt throughout the entire State. He was one of eight men to give 
$5,000 each to found a school of theology at William Jewel College. 
He was one of the organizers and founders of the Baptist Female 
College at Columbia, Missouri, now known as Stephens College, and 
from its foundation and continuously up to the time of his death 
was one of its trustees and most loyal friends. 

On December 5th, 1848, Judge Harris was united in marriage 
with Sabra Brown Jackson, daughter of Judge Wade M. Jackson of 
Howard County and niece of Clayborne Jackson, at one time governor 
of Missouri. Mrs. Harris died at the home of her son David H. 
Harris in Fulton, Missouri, on December 29th, 1903. To this marriage 
there were born fourteen children, as follows: 

1. Elizabeth (now deceased), who married Capt. Hiram C. 

Pierce.

SUPPLEMENT No. 11. 

ELDER TYREE CRAWFORD HARRIS AND WIFE, LAVINIA 
HUGHES. REFERRED TO IN PART III, CHAPTER 10, 
SECTION 10. 

Tyree Crawford Harris was the son of Tyree Harris and Sallie 
Garland, of Boone County, Mo., and was the tenth of thirteen chil- 
dren. He was born in the year of our Lord 1824. 

From childhood he was naturally very 
delicate. Although no marks of any set- 
tled disease were visible, yet he was un- 
able to perform any hard physical labor. 
Possessing a playful and gentle disposi- 
tion, he was a great favorite among his 
early companions — rarely, if ever, known 
^ ' to be out of humor, or in the least to be- 
come irritated, as was common with boys 
of his age. He never used profane lan- 
guage. Or engaged in gross wickedness of 
any kind. 

In early youth, Tyree Harris possessed 
extraordinary sprightliness; at the age 
of six years he commenced school, and 
with uncommon aptness he comprehend- 
ed, as with instinct, every probilem pre- 
sented to him. Though the schools of 
that day were greatly inferior to what 
they are now, yet his progress was re- 
,,,,v,r-^c,r^ L.ADOIC markable. At the age of thirteen fears 
TYREE CRAWFORD HARRIS. ^^^^ entertained of his early decline with 
consumption; but by such exercise as suited his inclination his 
health was restored. ^ ^ 

In October, 1839, he attended the regular monthly conference 
of the Baptist Church at Mt. Gilead, in Howard County, Mo., and 
under the faithful preaching of Elder Thos. Fristoe, he, for the first 
time, clearly saw himself a helpless sinner before God. He went 
home the same evening in deep distress, with a clear view of the de- 
.pravity of the human heart. But ere long the burden was removed; 
and delivered from the thraldom of sin, through faith m the Lord 
Jesus Christ, his soul was enabled to rejoice in His redeeming grace 

and dving love. „, ■, . -r. 

At the regular meeting of the Bethlehem Church, in Boone 
Oountv, in November following, he was received into fellowship by 
experience and baptism, by that faithful servant of God, Fielding 
Wilhite His prayer at the water will never be forgotten by those 
who were present. His w^hole soul was drawn out in the most earn- 
est melting appeal and supplication to the Divine throne, that young 
Tyree Harris might be qualified to dispense the word of lite and 
become an eminent minister of the gospel. He commenced the ex- 
ercise of public prayer with great acceptance. In December, 1841, 
the church granted him license to preach, which he did, to the as- 
tonishment of multitudes who heard him. Shortly after this, Row- 
land Hughes of Howard County, learning the future proaiiise of young 
Tyree Harris, and hearing him on one occasion himself, P^^P^^^^,.? 
take him into his family and complete his education, which he dia- 




tlisiory and Genealogies 723 



lo the sali.^faciion of all concerned. He was educated in Boonville, 
under Professor Kemper. 

His youthful appearance, together with his bold and earnest 
manner, his untiring zeal, his eloquent and pungent appeals from 
the pulpit soon won for him the name of the "boy preacher." 

His style was forcible, attractive and popular; his manner easy 
and graceful; his voice sweet and mellow. With a clear, strong 
mind, he possessed great vivacity of thougt and versatility of style. 
Fluency of speech and' lively imagination were combined to make 
him a "bright and shining light." His manner, both in private and 
public, in the pulpit and out of it, was such as to make him popular 
both with the church and the world. 

In December, 1S43, he assisted in the constitution of the first 
Baptist Chiirch in the ciiy of Boonville; and in August following he 
commenced his labors with this church as their regular pastor. 
Though young, he commanded an influence for good and attracted 
great congregations, and soon succeeded in building a large and 
commondious house of worship. Under his minstry his church en- 
joyed a high degree of prosperity; members were added almost 
monthly by experience and baptism, until they became a large and 
influential body. 

With the brethren in Boonville he spent the prime of his short 
life. This people loved him dearly. The name of Tyree Harris is 
still fresh in the menory of those who enjoyed the labors of this 
eminent divine. Whilst in the field he also for a time preached for 
the churches at Big Lick and Nebo, in Cooper County, and after 
eight years of successful toil he left a large church and took charge 
of the congregation in Payette in 1851. 

In 1852 he commenced his labors as pastor of the church in 
Columbia, Mo., where, by his distinguished pulpit efforts and his 
Christian and gentlemanly deportments, he endeared himself to a 
large circle of admiring friends and acquaintances. 

During his pastorate here he was also president of the Columbia 
Female Academy. And under his able superintendence the in- 
stitution flourished beyond a parallel at that time. He canvassed 
the state in behalf of the institution, presenting the claims of female 
education; and his eloquent appeals met a liberal response, for 
around him were gathered 125 young ladies from all parts of the 
state. 

In 1853 he was called to the chair of English Literature in 
William Jewell College, but did not accept the position. 

In 1854 he was called to take charge of the Female College at 
La Grange, in Georgia, but did not accept. 

After two years of arduous toil in the pulpit and schoolroom, 
he was called to and accepted the care of the Baptist church in 
Lexington, Mo. He entered upon his labors in this field with re- 
newed ardor and zeal, and determined to spend his life with the 
people of God there. He was soon attacked with typhoid fever, 
and in two months after he entered upon his duties there he was 
called to his reward. 

His wife's maiden name was Lavlnla Hughes. 

Bro. Harris was considered by all who knew him as the ablest 
and most promising young man in the state. View him as a man, 
as a minister of the New Testament, and hear his earnest appeals 
from the sacred desk, and you would mark him as a man of no 
ordinary talent. As pastor, he was kind, affectionate and prayerful; 
as a reasoner, clear and forcible; and as a speaker he had strength, 
beauty and eloquence. Possessing these rare gifts, he was success- 
ful in all his labors on earth, and now, whilst his works do follow 
him his memory is fragrant in the hearts of many.
